My life in Middlemarch
Synopsis
Rebecca Mead recounts her lifelong relationship with George Eliot's 'Middlemarch,' a novel she first encountered as a young woman in England. As Mead navigated her own life through education, career, love, marriage, and family in both England and the United States, 'Middlemarch' remained a constant companion. This memoir explores how the classic novel provided insights and solace that contemporary life and literature often lacked.
