Everyone knows about the amazing author Jane Austen but how much do you know about her family and her background. This witty and light offering by Lucy Worsley ticks all the boxes: balls (tick), dresses (tick), potential proposals (tick), mystery and intrigue (tick) and so much more. The book paints the tale of cousins Fanny and Anna and the societies need to find a husband as soon as possible. Fanny is the oldest of nine so the pressure is on to find a decent match. But she also follows the advice of her spinster Aunt Jane who is against the trend and asks the girls to be a heroine. This book has it all and I highly recommend it to those who love a good period drama, empire line dresses and the need to find love and a purpose in life.
