Why do I care for these characters from pre-Victorian England of provincial towns? I don't know, but I do. Probably because Eliot has brought out their struggles, motivations and characters so well that you end up caring. The first few chapters were difficult but once I got through them I am unable to stop. I certainly find it better than Emma (Austen), so far.
