Book
The mill on the Floss / George Eliot.
In "The Mill on the Floss," George Eliot re-creates her own childhood through the story of the wild, gifted Maggie Tulliver and her spoiled, selfish brother. Though tragic in its outcome, this tenderly comic novel combines vivid vignettes of family life with a magnificent portrait of the heroine and an acute critique of Victorian sexual politics. Eliot had no peer when it came to finding the drama at the heart of normal lives lived in tandem with the gigantic rhythms of nature itself, and in "The Mill on the Floss" she shows us once again how thoroughly the art of fiction can satisfy our deepest mental and emotional cravings.
