Eliot had no peer when it came to finding the drama at the heart of normal lives lived in tandem with the gigantic rhythms of nature itself, and in "The Mill on the Floss" she shows us once again how thoroughly the art of fiction can satisfy our deepest mental and emotional cravings.Eliot, George is the author of 'MILL ON THE FLOSS (ED HAIGHT) (P)' with ISBN 9780395051511 and ISBN 0395051517.
