I have always wanted to read a novel by Jane Austen and plan on it this year. When I saw this series of women in history which has a book dedicated to Jane Austen's life I just had to read it.
While at times this could be a bit tedious to read, it was still fascinating. It takes you into the world and mind of Jane Austen and the daily life which shaped her novels.
I am definitely looking forward to starting her novels this year.
Jane Austen of course is legend to us today. Although I have heard some historical discrepancies from one or two things in this novel of her life, I really see this as a depiction that is the most true to how I see Jane's life. [a: Nancy Moser 117288 Nancy Moser https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1377172495p2/117288.jpg] did a wonderful job bringing the light of Jane to a realistic picture for me and I could imagine every scene of her story. At first I was reading on a depressed note, thinking of the Jane movies I have seen recently just knowing that it will end with her death. At the end of the novel I was quite pleased with the way that Nancy arranged things. I believe this is the way that things should be. Jane should be missed surely, but not pitied. She would not want that I think. But I do believe she claps for joy each time someone else on our earth discovers the words that she has left to share with us all.
