A review by aliceboule
The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot

3.0

Of Eliot's novels, this one perhaps best represents her life goal to promote sympathy. Her sympathy argument comes across strongly in Mrs. Glenn's redemption, in the universal human traits exemplified throughout by various characters. Maggie, the dangerous woman, is attaching and true to her character. Tom, the every-boy, is revealing.

I would recommend this book, if only because it is accessible and Eliot is masterful writer. It has layers within layers and is valuable to those wanting to enrich their literary landscape.
