Probably the best unknown classic of the nineteenth century. Really silly, but thoroughly enjoyable and a guaranteed page-turner, with all the complexity and drama of The Woman in White.

If you've never read Eliot, I highly recommend this: longer than her others works, but it is her masterpiece, after all. All the social observation and wit of Austen, and a more subtle prose style.
