DislikedI found The Whirlpool very bitter. Like it just had quite a different tone from his earlier books.

The whirlpool (1897)
Creators: Disliked The publisher's 'blurb' describes this as "perhaps Gissing's most ambitious novel", and it is probably one of his best. It is set in the middle-class world of the late Victorian era. The central character, Alma Rolfe, is torn between her domestic life and her career as a violinist in London.
