I just checked and I don't own it. I think I should! You make the story sound very interesting. I have to check out the Ben Kingsley tv version too. Thanks for reviewing both! It's exciting to have some classics to look forward to!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-43392896165944571382012-02-22T21:19:08.112-07:002012-02-22T21:19:08.112-07:00So glad you enjoyed A Simple Twist of Fate (I did ...So glad you enjoyed A Simple Twist of Fate (I did have a problem with that ending myself, particularly since it implied that Martin was fine as a father now that he had money). Now I'm going to have to get that Kingsley series - love him in almost everything anyway!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-39577626981361121492012-02-22T19:50:17.468-07:002012-02-22T19:50:17.468-07:00I want to try to read another George Eliot this ye...I want to try to read another George Eliot this year. Silas Marner is one of several on my list. I suppose it would be a good start, plus I like the reward of getting to watch the movie with Ben Kingsley as a reward! He's wonderful.Lindsey Sparkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654365166738983077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-56334109759082031162012-02-22T11:36:09.931-07:002012-02-22T11:36:09.931-07:00It sounds as though I'd like Silas Marner - an...It sounds as though I'd like Silas Marner - and as it's sitting on my tbr shelves I may read that for my next classic in the Classics challenge - thanks for the info.Margaret @ BooksPleasehttp://www.booksplease.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-39717836021060939632012-02-21T17:17:01.070-07:002012-02-21T17:17:01.070-07:00Thanks for the great review Jane.

I've read Mill on the Floss and Middlemarch. Afraid I still love Austen and Gaskell better, but I'm getting to know George Eliot.<br /><br />And both adaptations look great.
