Jenkins, Elizabeth
In the small town of Steventon, Hampshire, one of the world's most important authors was bornJane Austen is a luminary of the global literary canon and is adored for her wit, social observation and insight into the lives of women.But behind the books is a life largely unknown, with an idyllic childhood, a busy social life and an affectionate family circle.Elizabeth Jenkins' account of Austen's story not only brings to life the country gentry of Regency England, but also illuminates the character and mind of one of the most unusually perceptive and gifted writers the world has ever known.Richly drawn and in picturesque detail, Jenkins pulls together fact and fiction to show how Jane Austen's life, lived with quiet passion, inspired some of the most beloved novels to date.'A classic' The Sunday Times'Ensconces us deep in the loyalties and tendernesses that held the whole Austen family together' The Observer'Illuminating' The Times

'Weißt du denn so genau, in wen Männer sich verlieben?' Dass ihr Mann Evelyn, wenn er am Wochenende aus London zur Familie aufs Land kommt, immer öfter mit Nachbarin Blanche plaudert, hat nichts zu bedeuten, da ist Imogen sich sicher. Schließlich ist die alleinstehende, bodenständige Blanche um einiges älter als die aparte, feinfühlige Imogen, stets in praktischen Tweed gekleidet und geht gerne jagen und fischen - eine Frau, die Imogen locker in den Schatten stellt. Doch als Evelyn immer mehr Zeit mit Blanche verbringt, muss sie sich fragen, ob sie sich da nicht täuscht ...Sind Schönheit und Jugend wirklich entscheidend, wenn wir uns verlieben? Elizabeth Jenkins' Roman, 1954 erschienen und hier erstmals ins Deutsche übersetzt, begeistert mit einem herrlich wachen, ungewöhnlichen Blick auf diese Frage - eine mitreißende Entdeckung.
