A very sedate account of Jane Austen's life. Though, after finishing the book I'm left with the impression that it matches very well with Jane's life and that it reveals her more than a modern biography can because it's written in the style of the period. One surprise for me was to find out that their letter writing style was quite like the one used in Jane's books or that they used to write on a letter small pieces in multiple days before sending it. Those are the kind of little details that I might have missed had I read a modern account of her life.
