About this ebook
A brother and sister on a Lincolnshire mill-stream, and a childhood loyalty that survives everything except the town's opinion. Eliot put more of her own family into this than into any other book, and quarreled with her brother in life exactly as Maggie quarrels with Tom. The flood at the end was decided before anything else. Ninety-seven plates of rivers, harbours and moonlit ports by painters from Vernet to Guardi run alongside the story, matching its course from mill-stream to flood.
