«Nell» is the novel by Mary Ann Evans based on the screenplay by William Nicholson and Mark Handley, published by Sphere in paperback (250 pages, in English).
The novel tells the story of Nell, a young woman raised in almost total isolation who, upon leaving the environment that has protected her, arouses the curiosity of those around her. Her private language and her secrets make her an enigma, and both compassion and suspicion mark how others treat her.

For readers of contemporary fiction and for those who want to relive the story of the film in novel form.
Mary Ann Evans, known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator, and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. She wrote seven novels: Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), Romola (1862–1863), Felix Holt, the Radical (1866), Middlemarch (1871–1872) and Daniel Deronda (1876). Like Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy, she emerged from provincial England, where most of her works are set. Her novels are known for their realism, psychological insight, sense of place, and detailed depiction of the countryside. Middlemarch was described by the novelist Virginia Woolf as "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people" and by Martin Amis and Julian Barnes as the greatest novel in the English language.
