jadeoneil 's review for:

Middlemarch by George Eliot
5.0

There’s so much about this book to love that I don’t really feel qualified to write a review that could do it justice. It’s got an incredible comfortable quality that is very easy to sink into with its witty narration, slice of life quality, and characters real enough to feel familiar despite the separation of time.

The fascinating background of political history and social commentary puts the lives of the people depicted into rich context and fleshes them out in such a way that even the most trivial of their trials are deeply felt. It’s just so very human.
