Daniel Deronda

By: George Eliot

Narrated by: Juliet Stevenson

Meeting by chance at a gambling hall in Europe, the separate lives of Daniel Deronda and Gwendolen Harleth are immediately intertwined. Daniel, an Englishman of uncertain parentage, becomes Gwendolyn's redeemer as she finds herself drawn to his spiritual and altruistic nature after a loveless marriage. But Daniel's path was already set when he rescued a young Jewess from suicide.

Daniel Deronda, George Eliot's final novel, is a remarkable work, encompassing themes of religion, imperialism and gender within its broad and fascinating scope.

Worth it

Just stay with this story...with out a doubt one of the best novels I've read

Juliet Stevenson does it again!

This one requires some persistence in spots, but Ms. Stevenson makes it such a joy to listen to!

Another superb performance by Juliet Stevenson

This is not an easy novel, but Juliet Stevenson performs it with rare sensitivity and skill. She is my favorite Audible narrator.

George Eliot,

What a brilliantly sensitive writer, so in touch with the innermost thoughts and emotions of her fellow humans.
The narrator did a great job of conveying the emotions of the characters.
Job well done.

Stunningly absorbing

Magnificent writing, compelling richly psychologically sophisticated and fascinating treatment of Jews and Zionism. Reader has beautiful intonation for different characters
