The final 400 pages of Middlemarch are genuinely thrilling.....
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adored the first 600 pages. I guess, at least for the first half, I was more invested in the incredible prose and the vivid, subjective experiences that Eliot creates for each central character rather than the actual plot.....but man, once the Bulstrode twist comes to light, and the manner in which Eliot captures the psychology of rationalisation, the way Lydgate tragically becomes a victim of conjecture and small-town gossip, and how Dorothea's quiet, yet heroic, empathy works as a highly influential butterfly-effect that has a profound effect on her social circle -- the book turned into a incredible page-turner.
Man, what an incredible novel.
