tani 's review for:

Middlemarch by George Eliot

4.0

---

Oh, gosh. What do you say about Middlemarch that hasn't already been said? The character work is exquisite, and I really came to care about everyone in the story, although I'll admit a special fondness for Dorothea. It did drag in places, as it dealt with parts of the storyline that I didn't care as much about, but I still very much enjoyed the experience. I think my favorite part was how very optimistic it ends up being, despite being grounded in the realities of the time. I'd love to read more of George Eliot's works in the future.
