Scenes of Clerical Life, which appeared in book form in 1858 (after serial publication in the previous year), was the first published fiction by George Eliot, the pen name for Mary Anne Evans. It consists of three novellas based on the lives of country clergymen and their communities. These characters interest Eliot not for their theology — she had abandoned conventional Christian belief — but for their humanity. In these stories, we find the earliest signs of the narrative voice, the humanism, and the realism that would make George Eliot one of the greatest novelists of the 1800s.

Another beautiful, understated reading by Bruce Piery.(?sp) At first, I was a little put off by her Victorian style (think Jane Austen), but the author drew me in with her sympathy for her characters. The stories also educated me as to the tenuous nature of life at that time.

This book is like finding a hidden jewel or perhaps finding an exquisite flower whose beauty and fragrance continue on forever in one's memory. A great book well read is always a gift.
