The Mill on the Floss (George Eliot)

George Eliot
The Mill on the Floss



Epic tale of morality and the conflicts between differing views of that nebulous and changing concept. And with a bit of love and lust thrown in for good measure to mix it up and confuse the outlook of the main characters. There are many strands throughout the story running alongside our main character the beautiful and troubled Maggie. Bookmarked by the power of water firstly being under the influence of man and lastly of a higher power. This edition is part of The Great Writers Library and it certainly meets the criteria.
