It's a sure shot to quote or mention anything Jane Austen has written. People know that. She's simply amazing and she wrote beautifully. Add to that some pieces of her letters to ther sister or family and we'll have a glimpse of her wit. She's funny and a master of irony, even sarcasm. This is a fast reading, even for those who have never read Austen. However it's better if you did, not only the six completed books but her letters. It's delightful to review these little pieces of a beloved writer.
