So what if it's like four hundred pages long and contains George Eliot's extensive research on steam powered mills? It's still a wonderful story about a girl named Maggie and her brother Tom who have a difficult life in rural, 19th century England. Phillip has decidely become my fictional, artistic, spinally deformed, always sweet boyfriend.

Halfway through, I considered abandoning. I'm glad I didn't.

On this book, I bestow the highest honor I am capable of giving: it is like Frankenstein.
By which I mean, sometimes stories complicated by the lack of a clear intended answer to the problem of their characters are the most compelling kind.
