Successful Metabook.

You must have come across questions like if you could dine with one author, who would it be? Interspersing an Eliot's creation and her thoughts, author Rebecca Mead has brought Eliot almost alive.

A book on a book is hard to read if you havent read the book on which it is based. Despite that in-built slope, author Rebecca Mead hooks the reader into three yarns of lives of the George Eliot's Characters, George Eliot's and her own life. Bringing the writer, her fiction and the reader self onto a single page, the author has successfully elevated the fictional characters to real life likeness, bridged the chasm between the writer and reader(self) through the common instrument of life and its vagaries.

In high school, we had a small chapter called 'Maggie cuts her hair' from 'Mill on the Floss'.
