About this listen
--The US Review of Books
“This essential book is a well-rounded biography of one of the greatest English novelists of all time... Factual and articulate, Giampaolo is meticulous in chronicling what is known and believed to be true for the esteemed author.”
--Indies Today
“A richly textured, intimate, and lively work that casts a well-deserved spotlight on the famed writer...Combining a novelist’s eye for detail with meticulous research and prose, Giampaolo delivers this concise account of Jane Austen’s life.”
--The Prairies Book Review
This beautifully illustrated book is a concise yet comprehensive account of Jane Austen’s life. We will take a look at her family, friends, and suitors. We will discover her favourite food, music and authors. We will explore the cuisine and fashion of the period. We will sneak into a public ball at the Assembly Rooms in Basingstoke to see Jane Austen meet the love of her life. We will help Mrs. Austen create the menu for their Christmas dinner. Lastly, we will examine Jane’s masterpieces and the literary devices she used in her novels.
