I have a boatload of earmarked pages to ramble on about, but I need to find the time to digest...hopefully, I'll be able to post more on this really cool book tomorrow.<br /><br />BTW, Linda - I was wondering when someone would do a book like this about Austen. Personally, I think 1813 would be a good year to pick, but I would be interested in others opinions.JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-32297595795147460162009-05-27T20:53:53.590-06:002009-05-27T20:53:53.590-06:00Oh, my kind of book!

It looks well worth reading. I like biographies that place the person in the context of their time and think that even with a contemporary biogrpahy a lot of it must be fictionalised.Margarethttp://www.booksplease.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-67706368288263051952009-05-23T16:40:10.023-06:002009-05-23T16:40:10.023-06:00This sounds like a fascinating book!
