The Lifted Veil is a novella or short story by George Eliot. The story is told by Latimer, who has just been told he has not much longer to live, and looks back on the events of his earlier life. What makes this story slightly unusual, at least taking into acount the time it was written, is that Latimer seems to suffer from some sort of illness and this may or may not be related to his ability to read the emotions and/or thoughts of other people. This ability is the lifted veil of the title. It's not a cheery, happy-ending feel-good story, but it is interesting.

A short 74 pages but a good story (if you like short novella types), it's a twisted horror that I randomly came across on Amazon and thought it looked good so I popped it in my wish list and received as an anonymous swap which makes me feel a little better... mainly because if I personally had paid over £5 for a book to then have it arrive as less than 100 pages, I wouldn't have been impressed at all. I understand costs need to be covered but had I noticed the page count initially this would not have made it to my list.
