Reading Middlemarch: Coming into Middle Age

Plus, a recap of events in November and book club details

Hello dear readers,

Michelle and Albert here. Sorry we’ve been out of touch—we’ve both had a really nasty bout of illness, and the end of the year in Taiwan is always a whirlwind of events. Plus! We went to Mexico for ten days to attend the FIL in Guadalajara, the biggest Spanish-speaking book fair. We had an amazing time and are still processing everything we learned.

Today, Michelle reflects on revisiting Middlemarch, middle age, and marriage. (So many Ms!) After that, we share notes from our events in Taiwan the past month.
