Welcome
Dearest reader,
This digital corner was born on a rainy afternoon, much like the riverbanks of St. Ogg's. What began as marginalia in my worn copy of The Mill on the Floss has become this imperfect catalog of literary obsession.
"I’ve lived with these pages so long, the ink has seeped into my bloodstream."
Expect: dog-eared reflections, underlinings that verge on vandalism, and the occasional tearstain. This is reading as a full-contact sport.
— Ana Paula, your fellow traveler on the Floss
"Life seems to me like a river... and I am always being swept away."
— Maggie Tulliver
The novel, published in 1860, explores themes of gender, intellectual freedom, and the tension between individual desire and social duty—all through the lens of Maggie's vivid inner life.
