The World Before Her by Deborah Weisgall
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

An interesting look at two women who once were happy and now are not -- and their thoughts and efforts towards making peace with themselves.

This book made me want to know more about the real George Eliot, and also to hope that Weisgall will write a book on the history of the Jews of Venice, of which she weaves tiny glimpses throughout the story.
