To bring this spring series to a close, we bring Middlemarch by George Eliot to your attention. The book reminds us that not everything has to be perfect and that it’s okay to struggle because everyone does.
Middlemarch: A Study of Provincial Life gives us a panoramic view of different relationships throughout their lifespans. The storyline is easy to fall into. It’s one that you can pick up and put down without consequences. Almost like an anthology series where the stories are connected, but just loosely enough that you don’t have to experience all of them at once.
Readers will be easily entranced by the studies of various couples featured in Eliot’s tale. You’ll find it hard not to connect with the characters, as they suffer ordinary trials like us everyday folks. The book tackles the difficulties of married life, harsh social expectations, and the constant battle between self-determination and chance. Middlemarch is a story that you can find yourself in without having to leave your favorite reading spot!
