My Life in Middlemarch by Rebecca Mead

4.0

This might be a bit of a niche book...but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was worried it might veer too far into Julie and Julia territory, but Mead manages to weave in her own connections to the book without losing sight of her guiding questions that pertain to all readers: "What can this Victorian novel teach us about modern times? Why is it so enduring?" Overall it reads much like a biography of George Eliot, and I recommend this book if you, like me, have read and reread its over 700-page long inspiration and are interested in hearing someone else's take on why.
