Middlemarch by Mary Ann Evans, George Eliot
challenging
emotional
reflective
slow-paced
5.0
I had attempted to read Middlemarch as a teenager and gave up shortly after Part One (of Eight). This is not a book for an impatient, inattentive audience — the pleasure of reading it is reserved for someone who is willing to wait for and work towards the rewards it ultimately offers (much like several of the characters within its intertwining stories, each striving towards their respectful goals).
Graphic: Misogyny and Death
Moderate: Antisemitism, Sexism, Addiction, and Suicidal thoughts
Minor: Miscarriage
