Description: The Lifted Veil by George Eliot Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The unreliable narrator, Latimer, believes that he is cursed with an otherworldly ability to see into the future and the thoughts of other people. His unwanted "gift" seems to stem from a severe childhood illness he suffered while attending school in Geneva. Latimer is convinced of the existence of this power, and his two initial predictions do come true the way he has envisioned them: a peculiar "patch of rainbow light on the pavement" and a few words of dialogue appear to him exactly as expected. Latimer is revolted by much of what he discerns about others motivations. Latimer becomes fascinated with Bertha, his brothers cold and coquettish fiancée, because her mind and motives remain atypically closed to him. After his brothers death, Latimer marries Bertha, but the marriage disintegrates as he recognizes Berthas manipulative and untrustworthy nature. Latimers friend, scientist Charles Meunier, performs a blood transfusion from himself to Berthas recently deceased maid. For a few moments the maid comes back to life and accuses Bertha of a plot to poison Latimer. Bertha flees and Latimer soon dies as he had himself foretold at the start of the narrative.
