I say that the strongest principle of growth lies in human choice. --Daniel Deronda (George Eliot)

Been in this George Eliot phase the last couple of weeks, helped along I’m sure by the DVD collection ld gave me for Christmas. Here:

I watched Daniel Deronda a couple of nights ago and while a lot is missing from the book it’s a pretty decent rendering. I know, I know Deronda is not her best book and has many criticisms. Still, there is something about Daniel that is compelling to me. So much so, that it is this months MoDa selection.

Read it/see it, girlies. Let’s discuss.

I've seen that one and loved it! What about the other movies in that collection. I'd love some good new/old BBC recommendations!
