Description: 'she felt herself standing at the game of life with many eyes upon her daring everything to win much Gwendolen Harleth gambles her happiness when she marries a sadistic aristocrat for his money. Beautiful neurotic and self - centred Gwendolen is trapped in an increasingly destructive relationship and only her chance encounter with the idealistic Deronda seems to offer the hope of a brighter future. Deronda is searching for a vocation and in embracing the Jewish cause he finds one that is both visionary and life - changing. Damaged by their pasts and alienated from the society around them they must both discover the values that will give their lives meaning. George Eliot's powerful novel is set in a Britain whose ruling class is decadent and materialistic its power likely to be threatened by a politically emergent Germany.
