Daniel Deronda
Gwendolen Harleth, out of money and used to being admired, gambles at a German spa and then marries a man she dislikes in order to keep her family afloat. Daniel Deronda, raised by a baronet who will not discuss his parents, pulls a Jewish girl out of the Thames and is drawn into the world she comes from. Two destinies crossing, in the one Victorian novel that takes Jewish nationhood seriously.
