Another of our big books for summer, Middlemarch is widely considered a masterpiece of English fiction. I can understand why it is so well regarded. Full of social criticism and details about a variety of relationships in Middlemarch, a fictional town thought to be based on Conventry. Originally released in serial form, the eight books chronicle the comings and goings of many characters, some of whom are a little hard to sympathize with but all seem realistic. Characters are not caricatures. Eliot does a wonderful job creating quotable and memorable passages.
Truly one of those books that you want to turn around and start reading again as soon as you finish. For my time, this is the best summer reading choice we've made so far.
