The Mill on the Floss

England - 1828 to 1840. 
Maggie Tulliver is beautiful and intelligent. But she is lonely and unhappy. 
Phillip Wakem loves her. But she cannot meet him. The Tulliver and the Wakems are enemies. 
Then Maggie meets Stephen Guest. They fall in love. But Stephen is going to be married to Maggie's cousin.

From start to end, This story was very sad. The main characters caught in a flood and died at the end. I do not recommend this book for those who do not want to be sad. The good point is that each sentences are short, so I can read it easily. There are many pictures on this book, so it will help you to understand the story.
