Review:
"An undistinguished addition to the list of recently published biographies of Jane Austen....The topic of Austen is well-traveled ground, of course, but Shields claims that her effort will be distinguished by her efforts to read 'what is implicit' in Austen's novels and history....Well-intentioned, but far from compelling."
Kirkus, 12/15/2000
Review:"Carol Shields' lens is firmly trained on Jane Austen and her family and novels, going back and forth between the life and the fiction with the implicit assumption that the one faithfully mirrored the other. The dominant question that emerges from both is: Is it better to remain single or to be married?...More of Austen's lens and less of Shields' would have added even more to the wealth of material on Jane Austen."
Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times Book Review, 02/18/2001

Book Description: Penguin Putnam Inc, United States, 2008. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 182 x 130 mm. Brand New Book. With the same sensitivity and artfulness that are the trademarks of her award-winning novels, Carol Shields explores the life of a writer whose own novels have engaged and delighted readers for the past two hundred years. In Jane Austen, Shields follows this superb and beloved novelist from her early family life in Steventown to her later years in Bath, her broken engagement, and her intense relationship with her sister Cassandra. She reveals both the very private woman and the acclaimed author behind the enduring classics Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Emma. With its fascinating insights into the writing process from an award-winning novelist, Carol Shields's magnificent biography of Jane Austen is also a compelling meditation on how great fiction is created.
