Rebecca Mead joins us for this month’s Book Club to discuss Middlemarch and Mead’s own book, My Life in Middlemarch Filmmakers John Maloof and Charlie Siskel tell the story of a reclusive nanny who left behind over 100,000 photographs that are now considered some of the major works of the 20th century.
