George Eliot

Moving story of three people troubled by unwise love. Adam Bede, a young man possessing dignity and character, loves too blindly; Hetty Sorrel, pretty, vain, and self-centered, loves too recklessly; and Arthur Donnithorne, a dashing young squire, loves too carelessly. Betrayed by their nanvetT, vanity, and impulsiveness, their foolishness leads them into a calamitous triangle of seduction, retribution, and murder.
