I'm going to jump the gun by a day because I am going out of town without my computer tomorrow and will not return home until the 27th.
The first 35% was laborious for me, and I feared an 800-page slog. Now, at 40%, I am settling into the story. Selfish and spoiled Gwendolyn is an interesting character. I look forward to learning about Daniel Deronda's parentage. The storyline featuring Mirah is interesting and I hope it is more fully developed.
