This is a collection of three stories that were the first published fiction from the great 19th century author George Eliot. She's one of my favorite authors from that time period (George Eliot was her pen name, real name Mary Ann Evans). I didn't enjoy these stories as much as her later novels like Middlemarch, but I was trying to read all of her works so I had to include this. Interesting to see these first writings before she was well known at all.

I somehow managed to leave The Golden Notebook at our favorite breakfast joint. Wanting to read but lacking a book, I picked up this Eliot volume last night. Absolutely wonderful so far.

I'm very fond of the story "The Sad Fortunes of Reverend Amos Barton."

These vignettes are merely okay - Eliot's definitely written better.
