Also I think you will find The Lifted Veil on Project Gutenberg, if you don't mind reading it online.<br /><br />Chrisbookarama its a relief really to read an Eliot book that isn't going to take you a year :)<br /><br />Alice I agree. Its very adventurous of an established writer to venture outside his/her comfort zone.

You're so focused on a few well-known titles (MIDDLEMARCH and SILAS MARNER in this case) by well-known authors that I guess you tend to overlook the not so obvious books.

Who knew? I've tried reading a couple of her books and never managed to finish one, despite my love of other 18th & 19th century writers. Maybe I'll give this one a try once my TBR stack has shrunk a bit.
