A STUNNING CELEBRATORY EDITION OF THE SUNDAY TIMES–BESTSELLING BIOGRAPHY, COMPLETE WITH NEW INTRODUCTION AND EPILOGUE: THE PERFECT GIFT FOR ANY JANE AUSTEN LOVER.
Where better to celebrate the 250th birthday of one of Britain’s most beloved novelists than the very rooms from which she quietly changed the world?
In this bestselling biography, Lucy Worsley travels from room to room, house to house, showing us how and why Jane Austen lived as she did, examining the places and spaces that mattered to her. It wasn’t all country houses and ballrooms, but a life that was often a painful struggle. Jane famously lived a ‘life without incident’, but with new research and insights Lucy Worsley reveals a passionate woman who fought for her freedom. A woman who far from being a lonely spinster in fact had at least five marriage prospects, but who in the end refused to settle for anything less than Mr Darcy.
