If ever in doubt, just ask yourself “What would Jane do?”

It is a truth universally acknowledged that most of us could use some guidance. Whether readers are looking to marry a man with several carriages to his name, recovering from an illness caused by wet stockings, or unsure what color ribbon is the best match for an outfit, Jane Austen’s wisdom is here to guide them through any problem.

This book features insights from Austen’s wide world of characters. With illustrations of her beloved characters and their most enlightened quotes, it’ll guide readers through the day ahead and help resolve questions.

Not sure of the right decision? “Better be without sense than misapply it as you do.” Unsure what to do with an afternoon? “To sit in the shade on a fine day, and look upon verdure, is the most perfect refreshment.” Confused and struggling to make friends? “Your defect is a propensity to hate everybody.” Austen’s wisdom is at readers’ disposal to give the insights needed, whether a sister has eloped with an ex or you’re in love with a stepbrother.
