The Mill on the Floss

Maggie and Tom Tulliver are both willful, 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 here with tenderness, energy, and a profound understanding of human nature.
