A review by rosea
Daniel Deronda by George Eliot

5.0

An absolutely fascinating novel, engrossing, interesting and sometimes disturbing. Partly it charts the unhappy marriage of a difficult to like heroine, Gwendolen, to one of literature's most vile creations, the awful Grandcourt. Partly it consists of one young man's journey of discovery into his Jewish roots. Both sides of the story are equally compelling, making this one of the most thought-provoking and absorbing novels I've ever read.
