Can this novel be read without having read North and South?

I will say that this book has been much tougher for me to get through--it is choppy and simply does not flow as well as the first one. Had I not read the first one and started here, there is no way I would put myself through finishing it.

I will say that the first book is much better (IMO), so you would be doing yourself a disservice by skipping it and reading this one instead. =/(less)
