From the inside front flap:"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. In the early 1800s, Chawton was the final home of Jane Austen, one of England's finest novelists. By the 1940s, little remains of her legacy but a few distant relatives and their diminishing estate, including the cottage where Austen wrote or revised her books. With the winds of change blowing through the country in the postwar days and the cottage's future now in the hands of fate, a group of disparate individuals fight to preserve both Austen's home and her legacy for the world. A charming and moving novel that explores the tragedies and triumphs of life, both large and small, and the universal humanity within us all."
Starting to read this book today.
Finished reading this book on August 28th and thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact it has inspired me to once again read "Pride and Prejudice". An excellent first novel by author Natalie Jenner who lives in Ontario, Canada.
