A review by heathermollauthor
Jane Austen, the Secret Radical by Helena Kelly

2.0

I only finished this book because a friend asked me to. And I gave it two starts rather than one because I know how hard it is to write a book. I've strained a muscle from all the eye-rolling. Too many sentences from the novels are out of context and from there become an outlandish premise that's not based on fact. The author doesn’t prove most of the claims she makes. Yes, Austen knew there were wars and class struggles and slavery and that people had sex! Not earth shattering news.
