A review by serrendipity
Daniel Deronda by George Eliot

4.0

While not my favorite Eliot novel (that honor is reserved, forever and always, for Mill on the Floss) I did thoroughly enjoy it. Well, most of it. I'm not quite sure why it's called "Daniel Deronda" as the majority of the story revolves around Gwendolen Harleth. The Deronda plotline mainly involves spiritual/philosophical matters -- matters which lie outside my understanding and my interests. But Gwendolen's story is so heartbreakingly tragic, and it strongly resonated in me.
