Pickpick

Eliot‘s writing is surprising. The only way I can describe it is that it is very spare. No vivid detail, the characters are never fully fleshed out, and the narrative often takes unexpected detours. But through Margaret as the narrator, Eliot creates a diverse cast of characters and conveys a wealth of information with simple passages or phrases that are often laced with humor and satirical wit. #MiddlebrowSyllabus

MrsK @LeahBergen so was I…especially considering what were very serious issues. 2y
