Just not the book for me. The book is nonlinear which gave me trouble. I feel like several of the characters were sad but not as developed as I would like.

There's a joke about Middlemarch in this one, as there are in many of Lorrie Moore's novels. Is someone writing an article on the c20th afterlife of George Eliot? They should be, I think.
