marjorieapple 's review for:
The Mill on the Floss
by George Eliot
A beautiful tale, full of human drama and flaws, political criticism, romantic lapses, feminist doctrines, and social and sexual commentary. Book 1 keenly depicts the story from a child's unique perspective. The resolution in Book 3 is quick and powerful which struck me as strange given some of the long-winded descriptions throughout the book. However, the scene of Maggie standing in the boat is so cinematic that it makes me want to write the screenplay. Such a beautiful story. If you've never seen The Floss, read this book next.
