A review by wenda
Adam Bede by George Eliot

4.0

Wonderful book on love, crossing lines and betrayal in a very realistic rural setting. The town of Hayslope and its inhabitants come vividly to live in this enjoyable read. Although called Adam Bede, I feel it's just as much if not more about Hetty Sorrel and the fallout from her decisions, as well as a number of others besides.

Stick with it and you'll be rewarded, although the slow pace of the many pages might not be for everyone.
