The Millstone (Penguin Essentials) - Classic British Novel by Margaret Drabble | Perfect for Book Clubs, Literature Lovers & Classroom Reading

Did I really buy this? I could've sworn that somebody let me borrow their copy. Either way, I gave it away when I was done with it-- I really thought it belonged to someone else. That makes me kind of sad. I absolutely loved this book, and I wish I hadn't given it away. For those who are unaware, Drabble is the younger sister of the celebrated English author A.S. Byatt; however I'd say that Drabble should be the one being celebrated. Drabble writes with the intelligence and composure of Byatt, but she manages to avoid bogging down the novel like her older sister does. What I mean to say is, this novel has much better readability than the majority of Byatt's works; however, it is still crafted with the level of intelligence we've come to expect from these sisters.
