The Mill on the Floss
George Eliot
Publisher: Penguin Classics | Format: Paperback | Page Count: 608
Seven hundred pages of the most psychologically meticulous realism in Victorian fiction, and then a flood arrives and drowns the two characters whose irreconcilable conflict Eliot had spent the whole novel constructing. The water resolves what the author could not. The canonical deus ex machina of English literature, and the fact that Eliot planned the flood from the start makes it worse, not better.
