Society will adore The Jane Austen Society… A charming and memorable debut,
which reminds us of the universal language of literature and the power of books
to unite and heal." ―Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author of The
Lost Girls of Paris
Just after the Second World War, in the small English village of Chawton, an unusual but like-minded group of people band together to attempt something remarkable.
One hundred and fifty years
ago, Chawton was the final home of Jane Austen, one of England's finest
novelists. Now it's home to a few distant relatives and their diminishing
estate. With the last bit of Austen's legacy threatened, a group of disparate
individuals come together to preserve both Jane Austen's home and her legacy.
These people―a laborer, a young widow, the local doctor, and a movie star,
among others―could not be more different and yet they are united in their love
for the works and words of Austen. 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.
A powerful and moving novel
that explores the tragedies and triumphs of life, both large and small, and the
universal humanity in us all, Natalie Jenner's The Jane Austen Society is
destined to resonate with readers for years to come.
