What would Jane Austen say to her readers , if she could write to them today?
How would she answer their impertinent questions?
What would she reveal about her novels?

In this series of fictional letters written mainly using Jane Austen's own words, collected from her letters and novels and
then patiently assembled in an original 'literary mosaic', you will follow Jane's eventful life and find new intriguing perspectives on some of her characters, from Captain Wentworth to Fanny Price, and on some of the most mysterious events of her life, like what happened the night she accepted and then refused a marriage proposal by Harris Bigg-Wither.

Most biographies, as a genre, tend to confine their subject's voice to a few scattered quotations.
In this book you will hear Jane tell her own story in first person instead, as if she was truly writing to you.
The author carefully tiptoed here and there among Jane's words mainly to fill biographical gaps and offer fresh insights into her life and her work.
