Middlemarch by George Eliot
Every two weeks for the next four months, we're hosting our Middlemarch Book Club for subscribers to the Secret Life of Books. Read along with Sophie and Jonty, fully supported by bonus episodes, reading notes, useful explanations, and helpful yet hilarious comments, as we read together, book by book, and chat all things Middlemarch on our Patreon site.
The Book Club is held fortnightly on Fridays at 7pm AEST, when we launch a new episode, and reccordings will be kept up for any members of the Secret Life of Books to access at any time. Jump on the chat and send us questions and comments as you read.
To join, subscribe to the Secret Life of Books on Apple or Patreon. All subscribers will automatically receive all the Book Club notifications and materials as they're published.
Head to our Patreon to find out more about how you can subscribe. You can also gift a membership if you know someone you think would enjoy it.
The Middlemarch Book Club runs January - April 2026.
