![]() Check out the July 8-9 Wall Street Journal for a review of four new Jane Austen books, including The Making of Jane Austen. Reviewer D. J. Taylor calls the book "fascinating."

Is It right for your book club?Yes, definitely! The paperback edition now includes a brief reader's guide with discussion questions. I'd love to hear from you if you're considering choosing it.
This book works best in clubs familiar with Austen's fiction OR its film adaptations. (You could read or watch Pride and Prejudice and then choose this book.) |
