cuckoo3 's review for:

The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot

3.0

---

I really liked this until the (I realize now) notoriously unsatisfying ending. It has interesting insights into aspirations, heartbreaks, and investment strategies of the working and midddle-class in Linconshire. Maggie is a lovable but increasingly frustrating character. Some aspects of the love triangle seemed a little absurd -- and especially hard to believe near the end. That said, if it had had a different ending, I would have overlooked a lot of absurdities and monologues about tablecloths.
