The Pequod Review:

The Mill on the Floss is a family drama set in a small English village, and centers on Tom and Maggie Tulliver, two siblings who grow up at Dorlcote Mill on the River Floss. George Eliot writes memorable scenes which are remarkable in their economy and restraint — the depictions of Tom’s and Maggie’s childhood are especially impressive, and likely autobiographical — but the narrative itself is not as strong.
