A review by pgchuis
Daniel Deronda by George Eliot

3.0

I was a bit disappointed by this book, having loved re-reading Middlemarch recently. I read this book too, years ago, but remembered nothing of it. In places I found it gripping, but once Mordecai entered the story it got less interesting for me, because I found almost everything he said incomprehensible. Some of the characters were likeable, eg Sir Hugo and the Rector, and Grandcourt was a good villain. On the other hand, Mirah had no real personality and both Deronda and Gwendolen were hard to love.
