โฆ Synopsis
Sisters Dorothea and Cecilia live in genteel poverty in an English village. Dorothea, seeking a life of noble service, falls for the dry intellectual Edward Casaubon, much to her light-hearted sister's dismay. Eight hundred pages of deep psychological insight that read like gossip make Eliot's masterpiece possibly the greatest novel ever written.
