A review by stefania18
Middlemarch by George Eliot

5.0

It is absolutely remarkable how Eliot built this intricate maze of social relations around the tenacious figure of Dorothea, her narrative skill enabling us to plunge into the fictional world of Middlemarch, where not even a Saint Theresa can escape the entanglements of the provincial lifestyle and to whose rules every member must faithfully adhere. The heroine stands out in this world through her ardor and zeal which brighten the lives of those around her even though she never fulfils her unknown grand goal.
