This novel (1888) tells the story of three spoiled daughters who are a great source of grief and distress to their parents. Moore later called the book the worst book he’d ever written, and it was omitted from the lists of his acknowledged works. Twenty-five years later, however, at the urging of friends with whom the book found favor, Moore revisited the work, and deemed it more engaging than he’d remembered.

Despite the powerful forces arrayed against him, Moore succeeded in establishing realism as a legitimate literary mode. His best-known novels include A Mummer’s Wife (1885) and Esther Waters (1894).
