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.
