GIVEAWAY
I have TWO copies available for this title, which I reviewed here.
Description from the publisher:
Unlike the conventional cradle to grave biography, THE REAL JANE AUSTEN focuses on a variety of key moments, scenes, and objects in both the life and work of Jane Austen. As described in The New York Times Book Review, “In THE REAL JANE AUSTEN: A Life in Small Things, Paula Byrne trades rigid chronology for an object-based approach, conjuring the author’s world through chapters on ‘thematic’ articles like an East Indian shawl, an ivory miniature and crimson velvet cushions.”
NPR’s All Things Considered describes THE REAL JANE AUSTEN as “a dynamic new biography in which Austen lives and breathes. She’s not some remote, chilly spinster, but a fun-loving woman with an enormous family, almost all of whom get reinvented on the page.”
