Dorothea Brooke is an ardent idealist who represses her vivacity and intelligence for the cold, theological pedant Casaubon. One man understands her true nature: the artist Will Ladislaw. But how can love triumph against her sense of duty and Casaubon’s mean spirit? Meanwhile, in the little world of Middlemarch, the broader world is mirrored: the world of politics, social change, and reforms, as well as betrayal, greed, blackmail, ambition, and disappointment.

A wonderful narration
Reviewed: 10-10-16
There is no need to comment on the book. It stands on its own. However, I must praise the narration by Juliet Stevenson. I have only recently begun to listen to rather than read books as a matter of convenience, and I was quite surprised to find how engaging the experience is, having previously only listened to nonfiction. All of the different accents and tones employed by the narrator for each character were truly novel and, thus, made the novel so much more accessible and enjoyable.
