About

Along the river Floss,, the Tulliver family lives and works at Dorlcote Mill. Young Maggie follows her brother Tom whenever and wherever she can, while he flips between affection for his sister and judgment of her – when all she wants is his love. Throughout the story, spanning about ten years, Maggie searches for happiness: first, as a precocious child; then, as a restrained young teen; and finally, a passionate young woman.
