No olihan tämä historiallinen järkäle. Ei tosin mitenkään erityisen vanhentunut, päin vastoin: monessa kohtaa oli ilahduttavan modernia ajattelua, esimerkiksi miesten ja naisten osista elämässä.

Romaani alkaa, kun itsevarma seurapiirikaunotar Gwendolen Harleth ja aristokraatin holhokki Daniel Deronda kohtaavat ohimennen rulettipöydän ääressä. Siitä harpataan askel taakse kertaamaan muutaman sadan sivun verran molempien taustoja, kunnes päästään taas itse asiaan, eli Gwendolenin naimakauppoihin puisevan Grandcourt Mallingerin kanssa ja Danielin kohtaamiseen nuoren juutalaisnaisen Mirahin kanssa.

Gwendolenin ja Danielin välillä kipinöi ja yhteydestä tulee merkityksellinen molemmille. Kirja kuvaa myös vahvasti juutalaisuutta ja juutalaisten asemaa viktoriaanisessa Englannissa. Hieno teos, kaikin puolin, ja todellinen kulttuuriteko tämä käännös, jonka parissa Alice Martin on tehnyt upeaa työtä.

I enjoyed the first third of the book and slowly lost interest by the end.
