Mead uses George Eliot?s book Middlemarch to consider the lives of its characters, particularly Dorothea Brooke?s, in light of her own and that of George Eliot. It?s an interesting proposition to take your favorite book and look at its influence on your life. Parts of it were wonderful, but the digressions into other of Eliot's work made me feel the author didn't have enough to say about Middlemarch and was stretching her subject. But, it could just be me. [I've not read all Eliot?s books.] Definitely worth reading if you loved Middlemarch.
