We love Jane Austen because her characters, as sparkling as they are, are no better and no worse than us. ![]() As each of them endures their own quiet struggle with loss and trauma, some from the recent war, others from more distant tragedies, they rally together to create the Jane Austen Society. Jenner brings all of these disparate characters vividly to life, and you'll root for all of them to find their own happiness. Multiple social, romantic, and cultural collisions ensue. There are eight main characters in the novel, all of whom are obsessed with Austen and conspire to create the society and turn the Austen cottage into a museum in her honor: a WWII war widow, a village doctor, a farmer and local handyman, a town solicitor, a house-girl on the Knight family estate, the anticipated heiress of that estate, an employee of Sotheby's, and a Hollywood actress. This debut novel is a fictional telling of the start of the society in the 1940s in the village of Chawton, England, where Austen lived and wrote or revised her six famous novels. Natalie Jenner’s, The Jane Austen Society, is a powerful and moving novel that explores the tragedies and triumphs of life, both large and small, and the universal humanity in us all. ![]()
