In the Year of Jubilee
A fascinating novel about the lower middle classes during Victorian times. A drama of greed, vulgarity, self-complacent bigotry, gnawing penury and despair.

Strong writing, interesting characters, and a story that kept me reading. Not exactly inspiring, especially for women, and the ending didn't seem justified (beyond a main character just being a jerk). I'm not quite sure what Gissing intended or how this fits with his other novels.
