    		I think its Elizabeth Gaskell.

    And that the work being reffered to is "Wives and Daughters"

    "Wives and Daughters is a novel by Elizabeth Gaskell, first published in the Cornhill Magazine as a serial from August 1864 to January 1866. When Mrs Gaskell died suddenly in 1865, it was not quite complete, and the last section was written by Frederick Greenwood."

    Wives and Daugters was produced as a BBC miniseries in both 1971 and 1999
