Middlemarch. George Eliot. 2003.

Dorothea is bright, beautiful and rebellious and has married the wrong man. Lydgate is the ambitious new doctor in town and has married the wrong woman. Both of them long to make a difference in the world. But their stories do not proceed as expected………

Middlemarch contains all of life - the rich and the poor, literature and science, politics and romance - and is a stunningly compelling insight into the human struggle to find contentment.
