I do think her strength is in longer work, but I liked this one. :)Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420476898132383974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-20626833885660979412012-06-13T22:09:35.401-04:002012-06-13T22:09:35.401-04:00Thanks for the suggestion!

I still enjoyed it...just wasn't what I expected. :)<br /><br />I'm hoping to get to Brother Jacob soon...need to make some more progress in my current reads. :)Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420476898132383974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-74695726767501271022012-06-12T06:23:02.588-04:002012-06-12T06:23:02.588-04:00This sounds like a great story!

'Brother Jacob' is much lighter in tone ;)<br /><br />Of course, for the real Eliot addict, 'Impressions of Theophrastus Such' is also a great one to try...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07546287562521628467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-36288034739518178342012-06-11T15:55:52.804-04:002012-06-11T15:55:52.804-04:00I remember thinking that the writing chops were im...I remember thinking that the writing chops were impressive on this one, but the story was a bit odd. It was a decent intro to George Eliot, though. I assumed her longer works would be a better reflection of her talent. I'm curious what you'll have to say about Brother Jacob. I read it alongside The Lifted Veil... last year, I think? :)*ೃ༄ Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139487177036647728noreply@blogger.com
