Review:
"[S]ucceeds in capturing the texture of the novelist's life for the delectation of true Janeites....We're pulled into the everyday life that shaped the novels, the life of a shabbily genteel, fiercely intelligent woman who resented that shabbiness--and made no secret of her resentment--and used the intelligence to eventually transcend it."
Melanie Lawrence, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, 05/11/1997
Review:"The accomplishment of this biography is to place Austen squarely amid the squawk and isolation of eighteenth-century life."
New Yorker, 07/07/1997
