Melindam’s Notes & Highlights

Jane Austen at Home by Lucy Worsley

2 highlights

I believe that everybody should know about the life of Jane Austen, not just because she was an important novelist. The argument of this book is that she was also an important human being: someone who, quietly, changed the world.
