Daniel Deronda





George Eliot's final novel is an extraordinary, keen and yet tender examination of two very different lives.

George Eliot's final novel is an extraordinary, keen and yet tender examination of two very different lives.

A beautiful young woman stands poised over the gambling tables in an expensive hotel. She is aware of, and resents, the gaze of an unusual young man, a stranger, who seems to judge her, and find her wanting. The encounter will change her life.

The strange young man is Daniel Deronda, brought up with his own origins shrouded in mystery, searching for a compelling outlet for his singular talents and remarkable capacity for empathy. Deronda's destiny will change the lives of many.

‘There is not a page of Daniel Deronda that is not marked with intelligence, and a few are as queer and perceptive as any I've read’ Sunday Times

Praise for Daniel Deronda

Daniel Deronda...is written with an understanding of egoism that no one except Proust has ever matched, and a calm assurance of style that sends a shiver of terrified sympathy down my spine.

Laurence Lerner, Independent

Daniel Deronda must surely rank high among works of literature that (excluding the Bible and other religious texts) have had the greatest effect on the world

Sunday Times

700 pages of intellectual thrills. Watch out for the amazing women: Lydia Glasher, the abandoned mistress baying for revenge, and Alcharisi, the singer who gives up her son to pursue her career

Patricia Duncker, Daily Telegraph

From Adam Bede to Daniel Deronda, she questioned her times. She plumbed ideas, politics, religion, race, and above all the vagaries of the heart

Guardian

The foremost woman novelist of her day

Evening Standard

There is not a page of Daniel Deronda that is not marked with intelligence, and a few are as queer and perceptive as any I've read

Edmund White, Sunday Times
