FROM THE PUBLISHER: 

"More than a literary biography, with it's insights into family life, beliefs, standards, customs and conventions, tastes and fashions, is also a valuable contribution to social history".

Not much about Jane Austen's personality can be gleaned from her works.It is from her letters, from the evidence of the friends and relations, and above all from a knowledge of the kind of life led and ideas held by the society she was born into, that we are to know her.

FROM SARAH:

If you're looking for a cozy tale to whisk you away to a small village full of tea, freshly baked cakes, and stacks of books, this is it. It's a quiet story, not a page-turner. Perfect for cold winter days, I think.

FROM THE PUBLISHER: 

Prudencia Prim is a young woman of intelligence and achievement, with a deep knowledge of literature and several letters after her name. But when she accepts the post of private librarian in the village of San Ireneo de Arnois, she is unprepared for what she encounters there.

FROM SARAH:

Haley is a delightful person, and I don't know too many people who are as well acquainted with Jane Austen as she is! Haley insists there's not better life coach than Jane herself, and she makes her case in this book. (This book is distinctly Catholic ✝️ )

FROM THE PUBLISHER: 

In this uniquely Catholic take, Stewart reveals Austen’s thoughtful, deeply personal exploration of human relationships—including with God—through her six novels. Stewart’s insights take you on a journey that is both literary and spiritual, revealing how Austen’s characters and themes can lead to you to discover and become the person God has called you to be.
