George Eliot
Set in 19th-century England, this great novel of domestic realism sympathetically portrays a young woman's vain efforts to adapt to her provincial world.
Maggie Tulliver, whose father owns a mill perched on the banks of the River Floss, is intelligent and imaginative beyond the understanding of her community, her relatives, and particularly her brother Tom. Despite their opposite temperaments, Maggie and Tom are united by a strong bond. But this bond suffers when Tom's sense of family honor leads him to forbid her to associate with the one friend who appreciates her intelligence and imagination.
Later, when Maggie falls in love with the handsome and passionate fiancé of her cousin and is caught in a compromising situation, she fears her relationship with Tom may never recover.

As for the novel itself: Although I was obligated to read it for a Victorian literature class it is a great read. It provides a unique picture of Victorian England's countryside. And Eliot is a master at capturing voice and of depicting childhood from a child's point of view.
The story is centered around the coming of age of Maggie Tulliver -- an clever, idealistic girl who longs for knowledge, acceptance and love.
This is a semi-biographical work so, it's a must-read if you want to know more about Eliot.
Great audio for great book.

In my version, the brother and sister survive to marry the persons of their dreams and live long and prosperously. So there George Eliot (Mary Ann or Marian Evans)! I like my ending better. And further, you are dead and can't do anything about it.
