slow-paced

4.5

“For the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts.”

Wow this was a SAGA. Meant to be wandered through with no great hurry. I will miss Middlemarch!

All the stars! Started as a slow burn, but all the characters and their eccentricities, all the wit and references, and all the drama is so good.
