A Jane Austen Education: How Six Novels Taught Me About Love, Friendship, and the Things That Really Matter by William Deresiewicz

4.0

I found this book to be extraordinarily fascinating. It's not a detailed analysis of Austen's books, but rather a sort of story about a man's experiences with Austen - how he came to love Austen and her characters and how he learned valuable life lessons through Austen's books. Some of the knowledge he shares is not brand new information, but it is fun to revisit Austen through his eyes and gain new perspectives on the characters and storylines I know and love.
