About this listen

First published in 1861, The Mill on the Floss was a best-seller in its day. This classic novel explores the traditions and moral expectations of an English rural community. Maggie Tulliver is a girl of uncontrollable romantic ideals. But her brother, along with most of society, cannot accept her brashness and vitality. Narrator Jill Tanner gracefully unfolds this tragic tale of love and loss.

I read this novel many years ago and have thoroughly enjoyed revisiting it by listening to Jill Tanner's excellent reading. Her voice is perfect for extended listening and she puts just the right amount of characterisation into each of the different voices, so that the characters really come alive. Her reading of the climactic final chapter is completely involving. Thoroughly recommended.

A beautiful, clear reading of a classic novel
