I would have been far more interested in the novel if it focused on (and found a plausible way to intertwine) Gwendolyn and Mirah's stories.

I get the impression that Eliot has set them up as stark contrasts of two beautiful women in the marriage market - light/dark, showy/talented, vain/sincere, etc. Both dazzle men with their beauty, and make choices that revolve around how they are perceived by the male gaze.
