"A masterly evocation of life in a provincial English community, Middlemarch is considered perhaps the greatest novel of the Victorian era, praised by writers from Emily Dickinson to Virginia Woolf. In the latest volume in Ig's acclaimed Bookmarked series, critically lauded author Pamela Erens talks about how Middlemarch "rescued" her, first as a distressed college student, and then during the tragic events of the global pandemic." -- Back cover.

Another enjoyable addition to the [Middlemarch] appreciation collection.
Erens, like many readers, revisits the novel periodically, and is enriched by reading it at different times in her life (maybe every decade). She credits its resilience to Eliot's compassion and empathy to a wide range of characters, to beautiful writing, and the imperfect humanity Eliot depicts.
Talking about her own trials and tribulations as she goes, and sharing how this reengagement with the novel has supported her in personal growth, and growth as a writer.
She has managed to communicate the sheer joy that can be had in regularly rereading a book that gives you deep pleasure in revelling in the words on its pages. And being at the mercy of the quill in mistressful hands (despite her having to present herself as a master!).
I'm planning my fourth reread in March/April.
I've also added a couple of other volumes in the 'Bookmarked' series to my cart (Woolf's Mrs Dalloway - Robin Black/Baldwin's Another Country - Kim McLarin). ( )
