George Eliot 
Lifted Veil [EPUB ebook] 
"I thirsted for the unknown: the thirst is gone. O God, let me stay with the known, and be weary of it: I am content."

George Eliot was a great literary talent. With classics such as Silas Marner, ‘Middlemarch’ and ‘Adam Bede’ her reputation was set for eternity. Yet she produced other works just as compelling. Just as good. Yet in spite of that talent she had to use a male pseudonym. But she persevered and triumphed. ‘The Lifted Veil’ is one of her best.
