Beschreibung

<p><strong>THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER</strong></p><p><strong>'It is good to meet the real Jane Austen at last'</strong><em>Independent on Sunday</em></p><p><strong>'Brilliantly illuminating ... by focusing, chapter by chapter, on one thread or another of Austen's experience, Byrne allows us to grasp the richness of her inner life'</strong><em>Guardian</em></p><p><strong>Who was the real Jane Austen? A retiring spinster content with quiet village life? Or a strong-minded woman who chose to remain unmarried and to fashion herself as a professional writer?</strong></p><p><strong>Bestselling biographer Paula Byrne uses objects that conjure up a key moment in Austen's life and work - a vellum notebook, a topaz cross, a writing box and a bathing machine - to reveal the true self of this most beloved author.</strong></p><p><strong>'Sparklingly multi-faceted, catching the light in intriguing ways ... Byrne's Jane is far less likely to go for a quiet walk in the garden than she is to be whisked into town in search of a velvet cushion'</strong><em>Mail on Sunday</em></p>
