As she reaches adulthood, the clash between their expectations and her desires is painfully played out as she finds herself torn between her relationships with three very different men: her proud and stubborn brother, a close friend who is also the son of her family’s worst enemy, and a charismatic but dangerous suitor. With its poignant portrayal of sibling relationships, <i>The Mill on the Floss</i> is considered George Eliot’s most autobiographical novel; it is also one of her most powerful and moving. In this edition writer and critic A. S. Byatt provides full explanatory notes and an introduction relating <i>Mill on the Floss</i> to George Eliot’s own life and times. 3277447 1860 The Mill on the Floss (Penguin Classics) total:2977|5:704|4:1059|3:827|2:277|1:110| 2977 10901 4286 281 374339 0486426807 9780486426808 18 3 3.66 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174265415m/374339.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/374339.The_Mill_on_the_Floss 5 5 false Tue Mar 04 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 15 13:08:38 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 04 19:33:13 -0800 2008
