The ultimate companion for the Jane Austen fan filled with her penetrating insights and humor on life, love, and death.
“A valuable resource for any Austen lover to use for quick reference or to read through.” —Library Journal

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.

Review
All those who follow me are aware of my immense admiration for Jane Austen. This book is a treasure trove of Austen’s wonderful wit and wisdom.
This book may be small in size, but its contents are incredibly powerful.
I enjoy flipping through its pages at random and discovering what Jane has to say about love, friendship, society, and various other topics.
Occasionally, her writing is humorous, but at other times, it is thought-provoking and causes me to reflect on the meaning of life.
For all Janeites out there, this book is a must-have as it is impeccably edited.
