Scornful of men and the love they profess for her, Gwendolen Harleth is a beautiful but spoiled young woman, frustrated by her limited options in Victorian England. Daniel Deronda is an intelligent, handsome young man who has been raised by his guardian, Sir Hugo Mallinger, but knows nothing of his true origins. Deronda’s search leads him into the world of 19th-century Zionism, a discovery that will alter the course of his life.

Condensed theatrical version of a brilliant novel

I am glad that Audible offers this title to its listeners. It condenses a very long Victorian novel into its key elements and the dramatic reading makes for great listening. I recommend it.
