A review by j_ata
Middlemarch by George Eliot

5.0

Emily Dickinson: “What do I think of Middlemarch?’ What do I think of glory—”

Virginia Woolf: “...the magnificent book which with all its imperfections is one of the few English novels written for grown-up people.”

There were chapters where I felt like I experienced a whole lifetime of emotions within the space of several pages. Sometimes cited as the greatest novel written in English; I don't think I could possibly disagree.
