About this title

Review:

'Although never finished, The Watsons is a delightful and exquisitely drawn portrait of family life. Taking marriage as her central concern, Jane Austen captures in miniature the well-known, and well-loved, themes of her more famous novels.' --tanabata.blogspot.com

About the Author:

One of England s most beloved authors, Jane Austen wrote such classic novels as Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emma, and Northanger Abbey. Published anonymously during her life, Austen s work was renowned for its realism, humour, and commentary on English social rites and society at the time. Austen s writing was supported by her family, particularly by her brother, Henry, and sister, Cassandra, who is believed to have destroyed, at Austen s request, her personal correspondence after Austen s death in 1817. Austen s authorship was revealed by her nephew in A Memoir of Jane Austen, published in 1869, and the literary value of her work has since been recognized by scholars around the world.
