—In this new biography of Jane Austen, David Nokes plays master sleuth and storyteller in presenting the great novelist "not in the modest pose which her family determined for her, but rather, as she most frequently presented herself, as rebellious, satirical, and wild."

From a review…
“A brilliant achievement, Nokes takes on the biography of Jane Austen with fresh new eyes and a depth of research not seen before. Not only was it immensely readable, the book gave me insight into the period that I did not have before. The book also shows the not "perfect" sides of the Austen family. They become truly human to the reader, especially Jane herself. Her sister's glowing reverence for Jane after her death does not hold up to scrutiny. Instead, we find that Jane is very much like most of us.“
