In the cold dawn of Christmas Day 1897, Gilbert Rice, 85-years-old & in failing health, recounts his journey into manhood in a city on the cusp of great change. Belfast in the 1830s was a city in flux. Industrialisation had led to an increase in population as workers flocked to the newly created jobs. Gilbert, a young man with prospects, begins work with the Ballast Office, supervising Belfast Port. But in the course of his days
- & nights
- abroad in the town, Gilbert becomes aware of tensions old & new. When he meets Maria, a Polish exile from Russian persecution, he is drawn into a love affair that will drive him to an act that could change his life, & the town's, for ever. The Mill for Grinding Old People Young is a brilliantly imaginative & moving historical novel. It evokes a vanished city that resonates powerfully with our contemporary anxieties.

Disfigured by the blow of an abusive husb&, the widow Mary Mc Allister has spent almost sixty years secluded in a white marble mansion overlooking the town of Mill River, Vermont.

- are curious about the reclusive old woman. Only the town priest truly knows the Mill River recluse, & the secret she keeps... a secret that, once revealed, will change the town, & the lives of its residents, forever.

The Mill On The Floss

This novel, based on George Eliot's own experiences of provincial life, is a masterpiece of ambiguity in which moral choice is subjected to the hypocrisy of the Victorian age. As the headstrong Maggie Tulliver grows into womanhood, the deep love which she has for her brother Tom turns into conflict, because she cannot reconcile his bourgeois standards with her own lively intelligence. Maggie is unable to adapt to her community or break free from it, and the result, on more than one level, is tragedy.
