In "Felix Holt, the Radical", an opportunistic bid for power sparks a dramatic love triangle. It's the early 1830s in England, and the town of Treby is gearing up for an election. Harold Transome, a radical candidate, is leading the pack. The problem is that he's lacking in real beliefs-he's in politics for the fame. As the election draws nearer, Treby becomes a powder keg of tension. And to make matters worse, Harold and Felix Holt, a man with very real radical beliefs, fall for the same woman. "Felix Holt, the Radical" may be a 'social novel', but it's still brimming with Eliot's trademark humour and humanity. If you're a fan of Dickens' blend of political commentary and compelling drama, definitely give this novel a shot. George Eliot, pseudonym of Mary Ann Evans (1819-1890), was an English novelist, journalist and poet. She took a realist approach to storytelling, finding the drama and beauty in the day-to-day existence of England's rural working classes. Her most famous novels include "Middlemarch", "The Mill on the Floss" and "Adam Bede".Eliot's personal life was the subject of some controversy. For over two decades, she lived together with George Henry Lewes, a married man-he was estranged from his wife but never officially divorced. Their relationship offended Victorian sensibilities, but failed to dent Eliot's popularity with readers. The pair are buried side-by-side in London's Highgate Cemetery.

When the young nobleman Harold Transome returns to England from the colonies with a self-made fortune, he scandalizes the town of Treby Magna with his decision to stand for Parliament as a Radical. But after the idealistic Felix Holt also returns to the town, the difference between Harold's opportunistic values and Holt's profound beliefs becomes apparent. Forthright, brusque and driven by a firm desire to educate the working-class, Felix is at first viewed with suspicion by many, including the elegant but vain Esther Lyon, the daughter of the local clergyman. As she discovers, however, his blunt words conceal both passion and deep integrity. Soon the romantic and over-refined Esther finds herself overwhelmed by a heart-wrenching decision: whether to choose the wealthy Transome as a husband, or the impoverished but honest Felix Holt.
