Slow Going
\"Adam Bede\" is a bucolic novel, and in its attempt to capture daily life in a small, rustic town in England it succeeds remarkably well.
Unqualified
As the title indicates, I feel quite unqualified to review the writings of George Eliot.
Less than venerable Bede (spoilers)
Like other reviewers, I have read other Eliot books and enjoyed them.
A masterpiece . . . and a joy to read, too
This world-famous novel is all about love and loss and making choices in marriage.
A lesser work
I find the mostly 5 star reviews of Adam Bede rather puzzling.
Classic tale of strength and weakness
George Eliot weaves a simple story of love, suffering, and goodness.
What did George Eliot's contemporaries think?
Adam Bede is a wonderful, tragic story in the very best tradition of 19th century English novelists.
A simply beautiful classic...
I just finished "Adam Bede," turning to the novels of George Eliot after a long stint of reading only Thomas Hardy.
