Lunchtime Poll 2/1/13: It’s Almost Middlemarch Madness Time!

By [E] Selena MacIntosh On 02-1-2013 6 Comments



Can you believe it’s almost time for Middlemarch Madness? ME NEITHER! 

To get us in the bookish and clever frame of mind, what’s the best book featuring a female lead you read this past year?

    Villanelle, the Venetian heroine, from Jeannette Winterson’s “The Passion” — a very unusual retelling of the Easter story of no, not Christ, but Napoleon.

    1Q84 (though technically it was split and one lead was female and the other was male)

    I’m going to say “Noughts & Crosses”, especially since the female lead is called Persephone! Though I think I need to add an obligatory: KATNISS FOREVER!
