Felix Holt by GEORGE ELIOT
Abridged in ten episodes and read by Gabriel Woolf (1)
A young man who chooses poverty as a way of life; a young girl who daydreams of wealth and position; and a bitter, haunted woman on her great estate waiting only for her beloved son to restore the family's fortunes: these are the threads which George Eliot weaves into a splendid tale of human relationships against the background of political unrest in the early 19th century.
