George Eliot
Middlemarch
Thursday, September 5, 2024 – 12:00pm
George Eliot’s beloved classic novel is the story of a beautiful, gifted young woman who marries an older man. Trapped in a lonely marriage, she finds companionship with his cousin. Virginia Woolf called it “one of the few novels in English written for grownups”. Zadie Smith wrote of the great humanistic spirit of the book, “that people are holy, even in their flaws, even in their sinfulness.” Leave yourself time so that you can read it slowly and enjoy the reading!
