It was so easy to get caught up in the narrative and believe that it wasn't fiction after all! I loved this one when too!

The letters that still exist don’t give much away so let’s pretend that her family destroyed the letters that contained all the delicious details of forbidden romances after her death. Leaving us free to make-believe on her behalf. Thanks Maria, I do have a biography here still to read – but Syrie James wrote such a lovely story for Jane.

It's not that you must feel guilty if you liked something which doesn't sound too academically Austenish. It's a "fiction"alised biography and can be fun, why not? I warn you, if you read Jane's real biography you can only wonder how she came to be so extraordinarily ahead and above respect to the little time, space, experiences she lived. Her life does sound very simple, uneventful, even plain ... Nothing comparable to the lives of her characters! Nice personal review, Michelle.
