The Mill on the Floss
Tragic and moving, The Mill on the Floss is a novel of grand passions and tormented lives. As the rebellious Maggie's fiery spirit and imaginative nature bring her into bitter conflict with her narrow provincial family, most painfully with her beloved brother Tom, their fates are played out on an epic scale. George Eliot drew on her own frustrated rural upbringing to create one of the great novels of childhood, and one of literature's most unforgettable heroines.

I enjoyed the humor of the book but I didn't find Maggie the strong character that she's supposed to be. She's far too dependent on her brother for her own good.

Fantastic! Although I did not see the ending coming; what a shock. This is my first Elliot book but certainly will not be my last.

What a fantastic read! The 19th century English litterature lover that I am had been wanting to read this book for ages. I really enjoyed Eliot's beautiful writing and her depiction of Maggie & Tom's relationship.
