Middlemarch
Descrição da editora
Making masterful use of a counter pointed plot, Eliot presents the stories of a number of denizens of a small English town on the eve of the Reform Bill of 1832. The main characters, Dorothea Brooke and Tertius Lydgate, each long for exceptional lives but are powerfully constrained by their own unrealistic expectations as well as conservative society. The novel is notable for its deep psychological insight and sophisticated character portraits.

I can’t wait for the next time I’ll read this book and the new discoveries I’ll make. I guess you never read the same book twice, but with Middlemarch you always get to end with one certainty, you’ll come back because you know there’s a lot more you’ll only be able to grasp once you’ve lived.
