First book: Middlemarch by George Eliot



I thought I'd ease into my new project by picking a book that fits into a genre I already know and love. Middlemarch is an English novel set in the 1830s about provincial life, marriage, class, etc. Basically it's very suited to me.

I don't really know much about the book. I didn't read the introduction so I don't know any spoilers going into it. I'm about 3 chapters in and so far we've been introduced to the Brooke sisters, Dorothea and Cecilia, young women who've come to live with their bachelor uncle after their parents die. I'll have to get through more before I can really discuss the book, but so far I'm enjoying it.
