A review by jenniferdeguzman
Felix Holt, the Radical by George Eliot

3.0

Not Eliot’s best work by any means. The political climate of the book is interesting, but Felix Holt himself is exasperating. His treatment of Esther is what we’d call “negging” here in the 21st century. So what if she likes to read Byron, Felix?

Be on the lookout for a scene that precisely mirrors the “I am your father” scene in The Empire Strikes Back.
