Description
George Eliot's The Mill on the Floss is a poignant exploration of rural life and the complex relationship between siblings. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century society, this beautifully bound edition features an introduction by Professor Kathryn Hughes. Maggie Tulliver and her brother Tom enjoy a idyllic childhood on the banks of the river Floss, but as they approach adulthood, tensions arise. Maggie's search for love is met with disapproval from those around her, including her own brother, while Tom embraces convention and accepts his father's desire for him to become a businessman. Tragedy ultimately brings the siblings together again, in a heart-wrenching exploration of family, love, and the consequences of societal expectations.
