  Scandal has come to Middlemarch, and no one will escape its shadow. 
  In this riveting, deeply emotional climax to George Eliot's sweeping masterpiece, the fragile social fabric of a provincial English town is torn apart by devastating secrets. Dr. Tertius Lydgate's brilliant ambitions have been brought low by a crushing association with a disgraced banker, leaving his reputation in tatters and his marriage to the beautiful, vain Rosamond hanging by a thread. As former friends pull away, isolation breeds a toxic resentment that threatens to destroy Lydgate completely. 
  Yet, in the darkest hour, true character is revealed. Middlemarch Book 8: Sunset and Sunrise is a breathtaking exploration of unwavering empathy, embodied by the idealistic Dorothea Brooke. As she steps forward to defend the innocent and rescue the broken, she must confront the agonies of her own heart—including a catastrophic misunderstanding that could sever her from Will Ladislaw forever. 
  Listen as lives collide and destinies are irrevocably forged. With piercing psychological insight, Eliot lays bare the agonies of pride, the bitterness of lost illusions, and the triumphant, quiet heroism of a single act of compassion. Prepare to be moved to your very core by a literary finale that transcends its era and speaks directly to the soul.
