Jane Austen's Little Book of Wisdom: Words on Love, Life, Society, and Literature compiled by Andrea Kirk -- Review

About the Book

​The ultimate companion for the Jane Austen fan filled with her penetrating
insights and humor on life, love, and death.
Jane Austen is one of the most popular female writers in history, best known for her
stories of love, loss, and hope, which are cleverly intertwined with her witty insights into
the traits and expectations of English Georgian society.
 
Here, in this stunning little book, you will be able to read hundreds of individual quotes
from her famous works—from Pride and Prejudice and Emma to Persuasion and Sense
and Sensibility—each prompting an emotional response, thoughtful musing, or even a
little snigger at the wise and shrewd perceptions that Austen had of the world around
her.

 
Utterly charming and very profound, fans of Jane Austen can revel in these much-loved
quotes, while a new audience will be introduced to the joys that her books have
provided since their publication many years ago. With each chapter focusing on a
different theme—from Love & Longing to Female Strength—this gorgeous gift book is
the perfect compilation of Austen’s funny, moving, and thought-provoking words.
