This novel was George Eliot's favourite. It concerns a bitter weaver who takes on a young orphan girl and gradually transforms his own life and that of the girl. The novel combines humour, rich symbolism and pointed social criticism to create an unsentimental portrait of rural English life.

Rating: Reviewed by: BRW BLOCKED, 19 May 2019A short work (by Eliot's standards) that reads very much like a fable of sorts. Though it is not her greatest work, it is a wonderfully written story that is full of Victorian values and has an emotional urgency and quality that is more obscure in her other works.
