Jane Austen: Her Heart Did Whisper
Jane Austen: Her Heart Did Whisper | Manuela Santoni
1 post | 6 read | 5 to read
In a time of formal dances, courtyard courtships, and strict ideas about a woman's role in the world, Jane Austen looked at the England around her and created unforgettable art. Before she was the beloved author of Pride and Prejudice and other classic novels, Jane Austen was a young woman wrestling with society's expectations and challenges of the heart. Her own story involves choices that changed literary history--and perhaps even the choice to walk away from love. This graphic imagining of Jane Austen's youth includes her creative awakening and her much-speculated-upon encounters with Tom Lefroy, a brash law student. Jane Austen: Her Heart Did Whisper is a vision of the thrills and pains of young romance, the bonds of sisterhood, and the decisions that make a person who she is.

I found this by accident on the shelf at my library (something that almost never happens anymore) then read it quickly this afternoon when I was “just going to read the first page.”

It‘s a minimalist graphic novel in translation that speculates on Jane‘s young adulthood and the potential rise and fall of her possible relationship with Tom Lefroy.
