Of all of George Eliot's novels, THE MILL ON THE FLOSS is the one that is closest to home for me. It almost feels as though I'd written the book about my own life. It is a bit elementary and even "sappy" at times, but clearly Eliot speaks to me in this novel. I found dozens of parallels between our lives. If you are looking for a great first Eliot novel to read, try SILAS MARNER, and then move on to MIDDLEMARCH, her masterpiece!
