A review by emzapk
The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot
5.0
"Many things are difficult and dark to me; but I see one thing quite clearly - that I must not, cannot, seek my own happiness by sacrificing others."
In 2015 I attended the play version of this, and I still vividly remember it - not just because the production was well done, but because of the story itself. I can't believe it's taken me so long to finally read the book. George Eliot has such a way with words; she paints the scenes, characters, and emotions so vividly. It is such a beautiful, classic writing style, but still feels accessible to modern-day readers.
