Description
Rhoda Fleming by George Meredith is a moving masterpiece that takes the reader through a rollercoaster of emotions and unlike other novels, makes no qualms in showing tragedy in its true colour and spirit. George Meredith has been compared to the likes of Dickens by some and this title is testimony to the high praise he is worthy of. Revolving around the lives of two sisters who are poles apart in their ways and a plethora of other characters that play a role in their lives; this is a saga of raw emotion, brutal honesty and primal instincts.
Meredith masters the art of character evolution to such a degree that the reader will feel as if each person described in this book is known to him for ages. Whether it''s the sense of failure that surrounds Anthony, the bank porter or the highly contemptuous Algernon, Meredith builds the flawed personalities of his protagonists delicately and with tremendous patience. Spread across multiple sections, Rhoda Fleming is ridden with a multitude of layers which the reader begins to peel off with each subsequent page. When the Night is Darkest and Dahlia''s Frenzy are perhaps two chapters that bring out the melancholy and dark side of humans the best as envisioned by Meredith.
Rhoda Fleming leaves the reader with an overwhelming sea of emotions. It is gripping and fast paced - yet poignancy and sorrow are the defining characteristics of this classic. Whether for a lazy Sunday afternoon or for a more serious literary endeavour, this is a book worthy of its place on every reader''s collection.
