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 sank into this book. I’m not sure I loved it as much as I thought I would, but I think that’s a response to the stresses of the world we’re living in, not to the book. I do love the way history—and history making—are depicted in this book, although it’s equally a book about trees and nature. Read along The Overstory and The Vaster Wilds to make your brain and heart spin
