_______________________________________________
Meeting by chance at a gambling hall in Europe, the separate lives of Daniel Deronda and Gwendolen Harleth are immediately intertwined. Daniel, an Englishman of uncertain parentage, becomes Gwendolyn’s redeemer as she finds herself drawn to his spiritual and altruistic nature after a loveless marriage. But Daniel’s path was already set when he rescued a young Jewess from suicide.
Daniel Deronda, George Eliot’s final novel, is a remarkable work, encompassing themes of religion, imperialism and gender within its broad and fascinating scope.
