The Marriage Portrait with the bay and the mountains in the background

I didn’t like #Hamnet by #MaggieOFarrell but decided to read #TheMarriagePortrait as a counterpoint/companion to George Eliot’s #Romola, which I recently enjoyed – both focus on a woman in #Renaissance Florence…

Oxford Classics edition of Romola on an orange blanket

I’m reading #Romola by #GeorgeEliot – some of the images and psychological insights are just extraordinary 📚
