Eve's Ransom

In Eve's Ransom , George Gissing weaves a poignant and ironic tale of love, loss, and economic desperation in Victorian England. The novel follows Harold Transome, a struggling schoolteacher who returns to London after years abroad, only to find himself entangled with Eve Mayfield, a beautiful young woman trapped in poverty. Drawn into a relationship that blurs duty and desire, Harold sacrifices his modest livelihood to support Eve, believing he is rescuing her from hardship. But as their bond deepens, so too does the complexity of their emotional and financial dependence. Gissing masterfully critiques romantic idealism and gender dynamics, exposing the harsh realities beneath sentimental illusions. A quiet tragedy of misplaced devotion and social constraint, Eve's Ransom explores the cost of love when it becomes an obligation rather than a choice.
