Summary:	"A startling new portrait of George Eliot, the beloved novelist and a rare philosophical mind who explored the complexities of marriage"-- In her mid-thirties, Marian Evans transformed herself into George Eliot and published her debut novel. Her life partner, George Lewes, was already married. Their relationship scandalized her contemporaries, yet she grew immeasurably within it. Carlisle shows how, through the immense ambition and dark marriage plots of her novels, Eliot wrestled in both art and in life with themes of desire and sacrifice, motherhood and creativity, trust and disillusion, destiny and chance. -- adapted from jacket
