Adam Bede by George Eliot
3.0

It's hard to know what to think about this book: it feels like a longer, extended version of her other work, Silas Marner, and yet that works feels much better as a whole than this one. The novel is about everyday people and everyday rural life in the 18th century and perhaps that is why it feels a bit foreign. The ending just ends, not quite disappointing but also not satisfactory for all the unforeseen drama that occurs in the life of the titular character.
