The fascinating character of Maggie Tulliver and her relationship with her brother Tom is at the centre of this moving story of rural Victorian England. As she grows up, the intelligent and imaginative Maggie is oppressed by the limited role offered to women and is eventually ostracised by her family and local society.

George Eliot gives a deep psychological insight of the different characters, exploring their feelings, their moral worth and motivations.
