Mill on the Floss by George Eliot
5.0
Such a lot to of book and so well filled. It starts quite prosaic and mundane. It’s like overhearing a group of tattling woman natter inanely about bonnets, little girls’ unruly hair and keeping their linen white, while their menfolk listen on. I wasn’t sure that I could keep going for 500+ pages. But thankfully it started to develop and got interesting.
The characters are fascinating and rich and the storyline is gentle and intriguing. It’s without the usual twists and sudden turns in contemporary literature, rather it undulates and swirls gently as the epic tale unfolds. Except maybe the ending, which is a marvellous ending.
