This is a very interesting book detailing the life of Kane Austen through much research and her personal letters. It was very informative and shows a perspective of the author's life that I found surprising. We learn about not only Miss Austen's life but about her personality. When we think of Jane Austen, we think of a sweet hopeless romantic but she was more feisty and rebellious then we thought! While I enjoyed the book, some of the information seems to be interpretation of possibilities derived from letters and not necessarily factual. Since we can't hear Miss Austen's voice in her letters we can guess at how she intended to sound but we will never know if we have interpreted it correctly. That said it is still a good read and I would highly suggest it for fans of the incomparable Jane Austen.
