About the book

George Eliot's The Mill on the Floss follows Maggie Tulliver, an intelligent and passionate young woman growing up beside the River Floss with her beloved but very different brother Tom. Their family's fortunes are tied to Dorlcote Mill, and financial disaster places increasing pressure on both siblings. Maggie struggles between her desire for independence and the expectations of family and society, while her emotional relationships bring further conflict. Eliot explores childhood, family loyalty, gender, morality and the painful consequences of social judgement in one of her most moving novels.
