I started this in print & finished on audio over a year later after having reread each of Austen‘s novels. I found Kelly‘s thoughts on each book intriguing, but at the same time, I take much of it with a grain of salt. I didn‘t truly enjoy some of Austen‘s work on a 1st read because they weren‘t as light of reads as expected, & in that respect, this book helped me to consider & better appreciate the books from a deeper & more serious perspective.
