Maggie Tulliver and her brother Tom enjoy a rural childhood on the banks of the river Floss. But the approach of adulthood creates tension: intelligent and fiery Maggie tests the boundaries of nineteenth-century society in her search for love, while Tom embraces convention and accepts his father'
s desire for him to become a businessman. Increasingly self-righteous, Tom disapproves of his sister'
s suitors and when he discovers that she took a fateful boat trip with Stephen Guest, her cousin'
s fiance, he turns his back on her. Maggie is ostracized by her beloved brother and her own community, and only through tragic events are the siblings reunited . . .
