Parallel Lives: Five Victorian Marriages by Phyllis Rose

4.0

Although it has taken me a long time to read, I have grown fond of this book. The chapters about George Eliot and Jane Carlyle were what changed my mind. What began as random stories about famous Victorian couples, turned into a bit of a analysis on traditional marriage and relationships.
I added a fourth star to my review since, after reading the chapters I mentioned, I resolved to go back and read everything else again, sometime. :)
