No. 10 The Mill on the Floss

England - 1828 to 1840.
Maggie Tulliver is beautiful and intelligent. But she is lonely and unhappy. (from back cover)

I read a book, The Mill on the Floss. The story has a sad ending. Many characters appear, so I was confused. The main characters are Maggie, Tom, Philip, Stephen and Lucy. In brief, Philip and Maggie loved each other. And Stephen and Lucy loved each other. However, Stephen became to love Maggie and Maggie also became to love him. So, what will they do next? If you are interested in how the story will develop, let's read it!
