Made a start on this audiobook, but while informative and interesting, it didn't grab me...unfortunatley, as it is a given that I am keen to know more about J.A.

La obra de James Edward Austen-Leigh sienta las bases para todas las biografías posteriores de la célebre escritora Recién iniciada la Biblioteca Jane Austen en nuestro catálogo, en edición de lujo en tela, y con una gran parte de las obras de Jane Austen publicadas también, creemos imprescindible presentar las memorias que escribió su sobrino James Edward Austen-Leigh en 1869 y que sentarían las bases para todas las biografías posteriores de la célebre autora.

I like the vibe of this bio of Jane Austen, written by one of her nephews. It was like, here’s the deal: there’s not a whole lot that was saved, I was a kid when she was alive, so here’s what I’ve managed to scrape together.
As such, it kind of wandered from topic to topic, but I liked the affection and respect in his writing, and I learned a few things I didn’t know. I thought it was neat he included a discarded chapter of Persuasion, the Austen book I’m planning to reread this year, and I loved that Jane Austen told her family the futures she imagined for her characters after the books’ endings.
A pleasant, quick read for Austen fans.
