A review by sewingdervish
Daniel Deronda by George Eliot

4.0

This is the first Eliot book that I have read and not wanted to reach back through the ages and take a red marker of Eliot's manuscript and cut out vast sermons! I enjoyed every bit of this book. Victorian stereotypes of the Jewish people were a bit hard to sit through but the message of this book was pro semetic in nature. The love story was not as compelling as in most Victorian fiction and I only feel sorry for Gwendolyn but can not sympathize with her.
