What an amazing book. I’ve also read Silas Marner, but I don’t remember it as well as the Mill on the Floss. If you like romance, comedy, countrysides, love, passion, honesty, and inner struggles – you will LOVE this book. I’ve always wondered why George Eliot chose to have a pen name. I had an essay in AP English about her and if my Grandmother hadn’t been an Eliot-phile, I would never have known she was a “she”. Thank god for Grandmothers.
