Dramatization

A BBC Radio full-cast dramatization of George Eliot's final controversial novel. From the moment he sees her at the roulette table, the young and idealistic Daniel Deronda is drawn to Gwendolyn Harleth, as she is to him. But Gwendolyn -- outwardly alluring and vivacious, inwardly complex and unsettled -- is forced by circumstance into an oppressive marriage with the harsh aristocratic Henleigh Grandcourt.

Daniel becomes torn between her and Mirah Lapidoth, a young Jewish woman he saves from suicide, and, uncertain of his parentage, becomes increasingly driven to discover who and what is.
