telgo 's review for:
Middlemarch
by George Eliot
How could I not give five stars to this? It took a long time to rad - about 800 pages - and is heavy-going at times, but also very funny in a particularly nineteenth century English way. There are about four intertwined stories in this, and towards the end I could not see how the author was going to pull her characters through, but of course she did. I think all of the characters are flawed, some endearingly so, others not so much. Eliot has an 'edge' to her writing that you won't find in Jane Austen, much as I love her too.
[ I can't believe I started this in April, but I did take time off to read a few library books along the way.]
