''Eve’s Ransom'' is a novel written by George Gissing, first published in 1895. The story revolves around the character of Eve Madeley, a young woman from a wealthy family who finds herself in a difficult situation when she is forced to marry a man she does not love in order to save her family from financial ruin. The novel explores themes of love, marriage, money, and social class, as Eve struggles to navigate her way through a world that values wealth and status above all else. Along the way, she meets a number of interesting characters, including a young artist named Gilbert Grail, who becomes her confidant and friend. As the story unfolds, Eve must decide whether to follow her heart or her head, and whether to stay true to herself or conform to the expectations of those around her. ''Eve’s Ransom'' is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a glimpse into the complexities of life in Victorian England.The next morning passed in restless debate with himself. He did not cross the way to call upon Eve: the thought of speaking with her on the doorstep of a lodging-house proved intolerable. All day long he kept his post of observation. Other persons he saw leave and enter the house, but Miss Madeley did not come forth. That he could have missed her seemed impossible, for even while eating his meals he remained by the window. Perchance she had left home very early in the morning, but it was unlikely.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
