One of the best books I've ever read! The writing style is absolutely gorgeous and the story is gripping and emotional. It's a little slow at the start, but you can't put the book down once things start speeding up. The characters are so fleshed out that they feel real. I loved every single sentence!

Fred and Mary!!!
Dorothea and Will!!!
This so some of the most wholesome literature I have ever read, I became absorbed in their lives and am full of love for them all.

An update, it’s been like three months and I still cannot stop thinking about it!!!!

Call me Will Ladislaw b/c I'm Dorothea Brooke's #1 fan
slow-paced

i LOVED THIS !! george eliot i love you !! honestly SO funny, some of the lines these characters come out with are absolute gold and would still land as well if used tomorrow, i guess humour is timeless. a huge and extremely varied cast of characters all of whom i remembered and was invested in ? a win for sure. dorothy and will are end game, who doesn’t want to be loved the way will ladislaw loves dodo:
“I never had a preference for her, any more than I have a preference for breathing. No other woman exists by the side of her. I would rather touch her hand if it were dead, than I would touch any other woman's living”
cue dramatic swoon
fun fun fun will definitely read again one day for sheer pleasure <3
