sophronisba 's review for:

Adam Bede by George Eliot
4.0
challenging emotional reflective tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

 I didn't love the ending but on the other hand I stayed up until midnight  because I couldn't sleep until I knew what happened to Hetty Sorrel. Not a patch on Middlemarch but still a fine Victorian novel, even if Dinah did set my teeth on edge.
