The Lifted Veil by George Eliot

A man cursed with the ability to hear others’ thoughts and see glimpses of the future becomes tormented by the burden of knowledge. As he falls in love with a woman he knows will betray him, fate and horror spiral toward a chilling end. The plot is eerie, psychological, and philosophical. A dark meditation on destiny, science, and the mind. A haunting and gothic tale of insight and doom.
