It took me a while to get into the flow of Eliot's writing style. I'm glad I didn't DNF this as it ended up being a really powerful story of redemption. At some point I should probably reread it but for now I'm glad I have a collection of Eliot's works on my shelf. I'll probably go for Silas Marner next.
