Finished reading: The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot 📚

The last 40% of this book comes together beautifully, with the urgent insights into human spirituality, temptation, and suffering that I expected from the author of Middlemarch. I will be honest, though; only sheer determination got me through the first half of the book, which felt like mere preamble to the meat of the ending. My persistence was rewarded, but it was a long journey through a lot of silly aunts and uncles’ conversations to get there.
