Review:

The remarkable Maggie Tulliver.

The unremarkable family from an unremarkable village who have an extraordinary story. Or at least, a story made more remarkable by it being an experience that to varying degrees we all experience: interfamily squabble, intrafamily disputes with our extended relations, money worries, frustrated goals and having to adapt or present dreams for the future to suit the realities of the present moment. An extremely well written bit of prose.
