Spanning the years from Tom and Maggie’s childhood up until their deaths, the book is loosely autobiographical and reflects the disgrace that the author herself faced while in a relationship with a married man. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWrongly accused of theft and exiled by community of Lantern Yard, Silas Marner settles in the village of Raveloe, living as a recluse and caring only for work and money. Bitter and unhappy, Silas' circumstances change when an orphaned child, actually the unacknowledged child of Godfrey Cass, eldest son of the local squire, is left in his care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMIDDLEMARCH presents the stories of a number of denizens of a small English town on the eve of the Reform Bill of 1832. The main characters, Dorothea Brooke and Tertius Lydgate, each long for exceptional lives but are powerfully constrained by their own unrealistic expectations as well as conservative society. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis collection is DRM free and includes an active table of contents for easy navigation.","brand":"Halcyon Press Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121132388592,"sku":"2940013879034","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013879034_p0.jpg?v=1763596610","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013879034","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
