De la contraportada

Playfully and poignantly examines Austen's life and novels for the timeless advice that still applies for today's women.

De la solapa interior

Jane Austen has become our patron saint of romance, our goddess of happy endings. Her name is synonymous with romantic sighs, period costumes, and the ideal of what love should be. But if she could give us advice about life and love, what would she tell us? What would she make of Match.com, of our Real Housewives, or of our obsession with finding The One?

Austen s stories give us relationship advice that still works today, but her life offers us more wisdom than just that pertaining to love. In our fame-obsessed culture, it s refreshing to think that Austen preferred to remain anonymous. Ironically, Jane Austen master of love stories never married and can teach us something about being single. She also endured many painful circumstances and managed them with grace and humor.

In this light biography and guide, author Lori Smith surmises about Austen s sensible advice for twenty-first-century women on everything from living our dreams, being a woman of substance, finding a good man, managing money, and more.

As such an astute student of human nature, Austen can teach us much about ourselves and about what it means to live well.
