    Daniel Deronda is a novel by George Eliot, first published in 1876. It was the last novel she completed and the only one set in the contemporary Victorian society of her day. The work's mixture of social satire and moral searching, along with its sympathetic rendering of Jewish proto-Zionist and Kabbalistic ideas, has made it the controversial final statement of one of the most renowned of Victorian novelists. The novel has been adapted for film three times, once as a silent feature and twice for television.

    "A story is best told from the begining and the first thing you should know about me is that I am called "Enola Holmes". "Holmes" like the famous detective "Sherlock Holmes", though I can assure you that I am my own person in every right. The second thing you should know is that I am London's very own lady detective." Making a living in London, staying hidden from her brothers and trying to figure out her mother, Enola Holmes has more than enough on her hands. Luckily, every case has a solution. And it certainly is not disadvantageous to have a certain nincompoop, also known as Viscount Tewkesbury, Marquess of Basilwether, on her side either.
