    Summer Book Club Read
  

*by S***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2023*

I loved this book.  I would never have thought or probably tried to read it, were it not for our book club president.  My first moments with the book were a complete ugh.  I thought about backing out of my promise to read it.  As we find with other classics written in a vastly different era, we must accustom ourselves to the flow of the words.  George Eliot wrote in a way that we don't speak in America in 2023.  So what happened was, I started to read the Introduction.  Let me stop you right there.  DON'T do that as the first thing.  And also, do note that the Intro contains spoilers.  I then tried to read the Prelude.  Maybe skip that also, because the heroine of our story is someone it takes a little time to cuddle up with.  Next I decided that instead of reading this dusty ole' classic I would listen with an audible book.  After listening to the first few chapters read by an excellent narrator, I said you know what(?) I can read this book on my own, so I picked up the paperback version that I had already purchased from Amazon.  Read a few chapters, THEN went back to the Introduction and Prelude.  My other advice, READ the Introduction!!!!  Really read it.  When you finish the Finale, go back and read the Prelude.  My new opinion of George Eliot (from what little I might have known before) was transformed into now remembering her as a genius among thinkers.  While you might find yourself in a whirlpool of words written in the English vernacular of a different era - when you want to scream "just say what you mean!" remember that the message from Eliot is as wonderful and worthwhile as any hour you may spend in contemplating the world around you.

    A glimpse into human nature
  

*by F***9 on Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2024*

Make no mistake dear reader: Middlemarch is a slow burn. The prose is dense, it covers a massive amount of ground, and it takes a little bit for the reader to find their footing and understand the setting, exposition and context of the community and its central characters. However, if the patient reader can stick with it, there is quite a remarkable and powerful glimpse into humans contained within the pages.A.S.Byatt, in the introduction, most notably mentions that Eliot’s book is one about life’s “indefiniteness.” This is an apt way to describe the totality of the novel, as it plays out in various forms through the characters as a central theme.One of the most remarkable features of the novel is simply Eliot putting so many characters’ lives within the community of Middlemarch under a proverbial microscope, giving us a glimpse into human nature and the conflicts within individuals’ lives.And these characters are very flawed and human. Through many aspects, Middlemarch’s focus is characters who are either trying to do remarkable and noble things or trying to find life’s successes, but ultimately having many of those quests stifled and stymied. Oftentimes it is because of foolish pride, an unfortunate vice, or any other character flaw of some sort. However, in the same breath, this is noteworthy because these said characters often fight against their own faults, trying in some manner to overcome.In this manner, it is a fascinating look at characters such as Dorothea or Lydgate, who have romanticized ideas and visions that sometimes end with bitter realities. Yet, they have to grapple with these realities and find solutions because there are no easy answers.Among other things, the characters are also so well drawn. Eliot spends an extensive amount of time (almost to a fault) letting the reader gets to know these characters and painting a picture of Middlemarch society. I thought that Dorothea was an interesting character in that she sparks quite a bit of polarizing thoughts, both praiseworthy and critical, in reviews and book club discussions. I thought she is definitely a dynamic and well-rounded character, with flaws, sure, but with a character arc and a depth. She has a nobleness and an independence in her in not letting others dictate her life that was admirable.As mentioned before, these characters have battles: in love and marriage, in occupations and aspirations, in politics and community, in their own personal vices, and all under the glare and gossip and scrutiny of an ever-expanding and industrialized Middlemarch community.Eliot packs so much into this book, the characters’ lives, their faults, their struggles, their strengths, their weaknesses, and there is a wholeness to the novel upon finishing the final page. It was a long journey, but a journey I was glad I was on for the full duration.
