Daniel Deronda

George Eliot

"No evil dooms us hopelessly except the evil we love, and desire to continue in, and make no effort to escape from." 
 
"For what is love itself, for the one we love best? - an enfolding of immeasurable cares which yet are better than any joys outside our love." 
 
"Those who trust us educate us." George Eliot 
 
In this enduring Victorian classic written in 1876, two stories weave in and out of each other: The first is about Gwendolen, one of Eliot's finest creations, who grows from a self-centered young beauty to a thoughtful adult with an expanded vision of the world around her. The second is about Daniel Deronda, adopted son of an aristocratic Englishman who becomes fascinated with Jewish traditions when he meets an ailing Jewish philosopher named Mordecai and his sensitive sister, Mira. 
 
Mary Ann Evans, known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator, and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. She wrote seven novels: Adam Bede, The Mill on the Floss, Silas Marner, Romola, Felix Holt, the Radical, Middlemarch and Daniel Deronda. An awe-inspiring audiobook

‘Trust me when I say you won't regret reading Once Upon An Algorithm and I hope you cherished their love story as much as I did.’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'As someone who works on a SaaS product in real life, although as a marketer, it was almost weird (in a good way) to be placed in a setting that's so familiar. I'm used to not understanding much of what they professionally talk about in STEM romances, so it was fun to be on the other side this time.’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The contemporary fiction of Once Upon An Algorithm takes you on a journey through the intricacies of workplace relationships, where technology plays a pivotal role. Clara O’Connor masterfully weaves a tale of love and conflict, where the protagonists grapple with their feelings for each other amidst the complexities of their professional lives.
For fans of Camilla Isley (The Roommate Experiment), Victoria Walters (The Plot Twist), Laura Carter (Catch a Falling Star), Lucy Score (No More Secrets), and Rebecca Yarros (The Things We Leave Unfinished).
