I read this at the same time than Deirdre Le Faye's. It contains just extracts of the most relevant letters, but if you just want a picture of her life on her own words, this book is enough.The letters are divided on different periods and before each one there's an explanation of what was happening in Jane's life, at the end of some letters contains some clarifications or relevant extracts of her novels,all very helpful. This edition is beautiful.
