Why read it?
1 author picked The Complete Novels of Jane Austen as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love every one of Jane Austen’s novels. I have no favorites, so I can’t recommend only one. They are so funny, but they’re also full of life, love, sadness, loss, families, friends, disappointments, and surprises.

From Gillian's list on reveal the real Jane Austen.
