Finally finding my rhythm with this book. It turns out what I thought would be 800+ pages of serious, philosophical Victorian literature is just one very, very, very long gossip session. The townspeople of Middlemarch immediately know everyone's business as soon as it happens, and their commitment to meddling is impressive.

This has been a tough read, especially as I've had a lot going on in my personal life. But I'm getting there...

Slowly getting there. Dorothea deserves so much better and she has no idea. Casaubon, my god. What a hideous character. His emotional coldness mixed with a deep insecurity that makes him demand praise is just too much at times. I'm not really in the headspace to be reading about emotionally abusive men, but I've committed to this book so there's no turning back now.
