The Mill on the Floss - George Eliot

New, never read. Paperback. No marks or damage. Opening with one of the most powerful fictional evocations of childhood, The Mill on the Floss (1860) vividly portrays both the "oppressive narrowness" and the appeal of provincial England, the comedy as well as the tragedy of obscure lives. George Eliot's most autobiographical novel was also her most controversial, and has been the subject of animated debate ever since.
