Summary
Discover George Eliot’s powerful tragedy about the struggle between head and heart.
**As Heard on BBC Radio 4**
Maggie and Tom Tulliver are both wilful, passionate children, and their relationship has always been tempestuous. As they grow up together on the banks of the River Floss, Tom's self-righteous stubbornness and Maggie's emotional intensity increasingly brings them into conflict, particularly when Maggie's beauty sparks some ill-fated attachments. George Eliot's story of a brother and sister bound together by their errors and affections is told with tenderness, energy and a profound understanding of human nature.

It was my first really grown-up book, but it is the book that wrings my heart and I feel I bump into elements of it all my life
