Book Club Tuesday: Middlemarch by George Eliot



Ok, I need to make a confession. I am a impulsive book buyer. Which means that I just buy books for the sake of buying books. A couple of weeks ago I visited a second hand book store and got 7 books under R500, which is a major bargain here in South Africa. I bought this book mainly because I was intrigued that a 854 page book only costed me R50. Now I have never heard of George Eliot, and I only found out that she was a female author when I did extra research in the middle of reading this novel. I also looked up reviews on Goodreads before I read it and I knew that I had to read it first.

This book had ups and downs but you can't help but fall in love with this book. I even took longer to read it so that I can soak up every word into my brain. I even loved the fact that my copy of the book had quotes for every single 86 chapters. It set the mood for the book. I love the themes that are discussed, especially with regards to religion.

If you haven't read this book already then go out and find it and enjoy the wonderful story that George Eliot created.
