Eliot’s epic of 19th century provincial social life, set in a fictitious Midlands town in the years 1830-32, has several interlocking storylines blended effortlessly together to form a fully coherent narrative. Its main themes are the status of women, social expectations and hypocrisy, religion, political reform and education. It has often been called the greatest novel in the English language.
I'm glad I read it. There was a hot minute (hour) where I thought it all was going to end badly, which made me realize I really cared about it all.
Can't believe this absolute unit of a book doesn't have many reviews. Tons of vibrant characters, loads of twisty plots, and all presented in incisive and delightful prose. It's MASSIVE and took me literal months to finish, but it's so worth it!
