Dear Jane Austen: A Heroine's Guide to Life and Love
By Patrice HannonWomen have looked to Jane Austen's heroines as models of appropriate behaviour for nearly two centuries. Who better to understand the heart of a heroine than Austen? In this delightful epistolary 'what if', Austen serves as a 'Dear Abby' of sorts, using examples from her novels and her life to counsel modern-day heroines in trouble, she also shares with readers a compelling drama playing out in her own drawing room. Witty and wise - and perfectly capturing the tone of the author of "Persuasion" and "Pride and Prejudice" - "Dear Jane Austen" is as satisfying as sitting down to tea with the novelist herself.
