Catharine and Other Writings by Jane Austen
2.0
This is the only Jane Austen book that I've struggled with. Collecting the first three volumes of her writing, this work predates any of Jane's published pieces. Her young age is obvious: they're very immature, tongue-in-cheek pieces, with more death and destruction than you can probably comprehend.
That signature societal critique is front and centre, but it's drowned under the noise of the over the top characters. It's interesting to see how Jane's writing started out, but it's definitely not an essential read.
