  A cargo steamer out of New York is wrecked in the South Atlantic, and the survivors — passengers, crew, and a young man travelling under a false name because he is accused of a theft he did not commit — build a society on an uncharted island. McCutcheon invented Graustark and with it the whole American vogue for imaginary-kingdom romance; here he does the same trick without the kingdom.

  In the quiet, calculating world of a provincial English town, the deepest wars are fought in sitting rooms and hushed libraries. 
  Dorothea Casaubon is finally free from a loveless marriage—but trapped by the terms of her late husband's cruel will. A young widow bursting with passionate ideals, she yearns for the one man society forbids her to have: the brilliant but impoverished Will Ladislaw. 
  Meanwhile, the rest of Middlemarch continues its delicate dance of ambition and ruin. Dr. Tertius Lydgate watches his arrogant dreams crumble under the crushing weight of hidden debt and his beautiful wife's quiet, devastating obstinacy. And young Fred Vincy risks his inheritance and his family's wrath for the chance to win the heart of pragmatic Mary Garth, stepping away from the church to labor in the soil. 
  George Eliot’s penetrating gaze captures the tragedy of mismatched souls, the burden of societal expectation, and the intricate webs of human connection. Middlemarch Book 6: The Widow and the Wife is an unmissable crescendo in one of literature's greatest achievements.
