Jane in Winter
Jane in Winter | Julia Fry
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Follow Jane Austen through successive winters and Christmases from the age of seven until her final Christmas at forty-one. This book imagines Jane's innermost feelings as she experiences childhood festivities and family theatricals; the trauma of leaving her old home for Bath and the loss of her beloved father; her first romance and a mortifying proposal; the frustrations of writer's block during exile in Bath and Southampton and her eventual fulfilment as a writer once she returns to rural Hampshire; the joys and irritations of family life and the enduring love and encouragement of her sister Cassandra.

I've been reading over Winter. What I call a quiet read. Not a book to just rush through but one to be savoured.

Beautifully written w/ delightful illustrations. Joy to have in your hands. I especially like when Jane imagines what happens to her characters after her books end.
Ending of this book brought tears to my eyes and touched my heart. I can see myself rereading over the successive winters of my life. ⬇️
