DANIEL DERONDA (Completed) by GeorgeEliot

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.

We had it all - LN4 by formulaaddict04

Lando and Megan met when they were just ten years old, attending the same school. From the moment they crossed paths, they became inseparable - best friends in every sense of the word. At sixteen, friendship quietly turned into something more. They confessed their feelings and started dating, officially beginning what felt like the start of forever. For the next seven years, Megan stood by Lando's side as he chased his dream of becoming a Formula One driver. And while he pushed for podiums and pole positions, Megan pursued her own path, studying to become a physiotherapist. Together, they dreamed of a future - a home, a family, a life built on love and years of trust. But all of that shattered the day Megan returned to Monaco. She'd come back early - a quiet surprise after visiting family in the UK for a birthday. She walked through the door expecting everything to be as she left it. Instead, what she found tore everything apart. That was nearly four years ago. Now, Megan lives in the UK, raising her three-year-old son, Noah - her entire world. She's done her best to move on, to rebuild the life that once seemed lost. But fate has its own plans. At the Goodwood Festival of Speed, as engines roar and crowds surge, Noah slips from her grasp, darting off through the crowd. Megan chases after him - heart racing, calling his name - until she finds him somewhere he absolutely shouldn't be. In a restricted area. With someone she never expected to see again. And in that moment, as eyes lock and silence falls - everything changes. Because nearly four years later, the truth is about to come out. ---- Dual POV All fictional - don't take any storyline seriously or hate upon any characters.

Nocturn: The Ethiopian Orthodox by ScottBessenecker

When Ethiopians mount a relief mission to save the starving masses in London, they arrive only to set in motion the seeds of revolution for an enslaved Bangladeshi population. In my novel, Nocturn: The Ethiopian Orthodox (78,000 words), a crew of thirty-nine set out from Ethiopia for England on a hybrid steam and sailing vessel. The unlikely crew includes a palsied ship's captain, a Down Syndrome engineer, and Hakim, a 10-year-old boy with strange healing powers. After spawning a revolution in London, they are exiled across the Atlantic and plunged into the ashes of American society. It is a profoundly cross-cultural work. The heroes are characters who would never have succeeded in modern society but have distinct advantages in a postindustrial world. H Nocturn: The Ethiopian Orthodox is the first in The Nocturn trilogy (the first two books are written). The novel will appeal to lovers of books like The Sparrow, by Mary Doria Russell and Station Eleven, by Emily St. John Mandel.

God's Country by NickLucasx

Britain, before the European referendum, a sliding doors moment. The political system is collapsing and a new party emerges with a strong Christian ethos, proposing radical social change. But they are just a tiny voice, extremists, and no one takes them seriously, until 2 general elections in barely six months changes everything. This is the story of a revolution and the people driving it and the people suffering from it. Love, hate, passion, deception, thrills and spills. Originally written before Covid or Brexit, this novel had several publishers interested for a while. It is my nod to Margaret Atwood, my Gilead tribute. But this could happen...

Silas Marner (Completed) by BannedBooks

This novel has been banned because of how the topic of religion is discussed and portrayed. "Silas Marner: The Weaver of Raveloe" is a dramatic novel by George Eliot. It was first published in 1861. An outwardly simple tale of a reclusive weaver, in its strong realism it represents one of Eliot's most sophisticated treatments of her attitude to religion."
