 Middlemarch

By George Eliot
The most extraordinary masterpiece written from personal experience.
“Middlemarch” is a deep psychological observation of human nature which
revolves around the issues of love, jealousy, and obligation. Eliot's
feminist views are apparent through the novel in which she stresses the
fact that women should control their own lives. A highly recommended
classic!
