About the book

When she agreed to marry John Walter Cross, Eliot was recovering from the death of George Henry Lewes, her beloved companion of 26 years. In her youth, Mary Ann Evans - who would later be known as George Eliot - was a country girl, considered too plain to marry, so she educated herself in order to secure a livelihood. In an era when female novelists were objects of wonder, she became the most famous writer of her day - with a male nom de plume. The Honeymoon explores different kinds of love, and the possibility of happiness even in an 'imperfect' union.
