Description
Esther Waters is a powerful novel by George Moore, first published in 1894. Its influence can still be felt today, thanks to its unflinching portrayal of poverty, social inequality and the struggles faced by women. The story follows Esther, a young woman who arrives at the home of the Barfield family after her father's death and her mother's marriage to an abusive man. She tries to make a new life for herself as a kitchen maid, but is soon seduced by a footman and must navigate the challenges of pregnancy and single parenthood. This edition of Esther Waters is a beautifully presented reimagining of Moore's classic work, with a fresh typeset manuscript and a stunning new cover.
