Seduced and abandoned, she finds herself alone in the world with a son to raise, and no way to raise him that respectable society will allow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat follows is one of the great unsentimental portraits in English fiction, and an unbreakable love for a child. Frank enough to be banned by the great circulating libraries when it appeared in 1894, even as Gladstone and the critics praised it, George Moore’s masterpiece of English naturalism has long outlived the scandal to stand among the finest novels of its century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe complete novel, all forty-eight chapters, following Moore’s revised 1899 text, behind an original mixed media cover illustration by JVB Atelier Designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeorge Moore (1852–1933)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe revised 1899 text\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNorthlume Classic Library\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaperback and hardcover, 6 × 9, 422 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"JVB Atelier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44698367098922,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/0228\/4330\/files\/esther-waters.jpg?v=1786892991","url":"https:\/\/northlume.org\/products\/esther-waters","provider":"Northlume ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
