I absolutely loved this intimate portrayal of Austen's life. I felt like I was right there with her amidst the daily details, worries, and family stories. This is a biography for serious Janeites, however, and the minutiae might not interest everyone. I'd probably start with The Real Jane Austen by Paula Byrne for the uninitiated. I may have held back tears listening to the end.
