with a forty chapter build up, its quite a commitment but I found myself attatched to the characters and all their relationships! a lovely study of the normal small insignificant lives that make up history.

I remember buying this book at a bookstore in the Copley Place mall in Boston shortly within a year or 2 of finishing college. I was burnt out from engineering school and looking to read some classics and other highly recommended books from some book list I came across.

I really didn't know much about Middlemarch before picking it up. I ended up loving it.

Dorothea Brooke is a woman trying to make a mark in the world in a time where society didn't really approve of woman doing such things. She's definitely a protagonist that remained in my thoughts long after finishing the book.
