Adam Bede by George Eliot

...who by the way, is a woman writer.

I liked this book. There's a lot to it and I like how Eliot treats all the various subjects. I think nuanced is the word that comes to mind with a lot of the way she handles the various issues.

To keep it short, I didn't like how it took her 300 pages to set up the story, but it reminded me of Girl with a Dragon Tattoo in that sense.

It's a long read and, honestly, not something I would recommend to people. I simply liked it because I generally like Victorian literature but it's a long book and not one that is accessible to many people.
