How funny that this book was available the day I watched The Jane Austen Book Club and had decided that I would re-read the Austen novels! I became a huge fan of Austen during college. I caught a glimpse of her world while watching the BBC (Colin Firth) version of Pride and Prejudice and have been a fan ever since. I have read every one of her novels and have seen almost all the movie adaptations. And yet, I know very little about her life. That’s the reason I decided to read this book. Through this book, I’ve come to appreciate Austen in a more profound way. I knew that she was the daughter of a minister, but for some reason I never thought about the Christianity in her books. I never thought about her social background. I never gave much thought to the woman behind the books. I enjoyed learning about her and through this book have learned a new appreciation for her works. Now I just have to decide which to re-read first...
