A mesmerizing performance of a novel that should be much better known. Maggie Tulliver is as complicated and brilliant as Jane Eyre, and her aunts, the tragicomic Dodson sisters, are incredibly alive in this performance.

The narrator was incredible, giving such life and emotion to an already stunning book. George Elliot has such insights into the human heart and soul, and her characters are always so well developed and multi-dimensional. This book is no exception.

Incredible narrator, incredible book

I loved this book! Characters so vividly brought to life! I felt everyone of Magsie's inner struggles with her! The narrator did justice to this work of art.

Finished "The Mill on the Floss" by George Eliot (after the audio Brothers Karamazov accompanied me in house cleaning chores.)

Highly recommended to understand the emotional turmoil of women tempted to break their commitments. In the strongest moments of Maggie Tulliver who appeared many times to be weak, she spoke to her "temptor"Stephen Guest:

"You feel, as I do, that the real tie lies in the feelings and expectations we have raised in other minds. Else all pledges might be broken, when there was no outward penalty. There would be no such thing as faithfulness.”

Bravo!

Such a thing as faithfulness

Highly recommend this book. It's so cleverly constructed. I'm convinced this is one of my favorite Victorian books so far. The reader really paid tribute to all the characters in various changes in her voice. Excellent!

Amazing book & performance

It’s sort of a tragic soap opera with beautiful writing. The writing and performance ate excellent of course but I personally wasn’t a fan of the story.

Tragic soap opera

As per above. One of the great Victorian novels, particularly the dramatization of moral dilemmas around which it it built.

Sad but elegant, compelling though coincidence-filled

This book exceeded my expectations in many ways. The narration was perfect, giving emphasis or not in all the right places and the different character's voices enhanced each of them well. The characters were interesting and familiar, beautifully drawn and reflecting the very issues we deal with today. Heartbreaking, but a compelling book; a large and small story.

Incredible reader!

The narrator absolutely did justice to this marvelous novel. She distinguishes each character so thoughtfully with unique tone and accent. Couldn’t have asked for a morning loving treatment of this story.

Gloriously narrated
