Trade Review
A great novel of unquenchable optimism and boundless humanity * Guardian *
It is a book that lifts your heart, makes you feel spiritually enriched and persuades you of the potential goodness of human nature * Daily Mail *
Eliot's finest pastoral tale... notable for the sharpness of its rural detail, its tactful symbolism and its variation between high melodrama and broad comedy * Guardian *
