Middlemarch is a moving story of men and women longing to do the right thing, but making bad decisions. Among them is Dorothea Brooke, who wants to improve the world but finds her idealism crushed by her unhappy marriage to the aged scholar Casabon, and Dr Lydgate, whose shallow, spendthrift wife threatens his dreams of medical progress.
“One of the few English Novels written for grown-up people.”
- Virginia Woolf

To Kill a Mocking Bird
By Harper Lee
‘Shoot all the Bluejays you want, if
you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin
to kill a Mockingbird.’ A lawyer's advice
to his children as he defends the real
mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic
novel - a black man charged with the
rape of a white girl. Through the young
eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee
explores with exuberant humour the
irrationality of adult attitudes to race
and class in the Deep South of the
thirties. The conscience of a town
steeped in prejudice, violence and
hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of
one man's struggle for justice. But the
weight of history will only tolerate so
much.
