The Google logo (and the post title) today says it all: we talk about Jane Austen.
235 years ago English was born in Hampshire that is my favorite author.
I do not know how many times I've seen and read and reread and revised Pride Prejudice and my favorite books and movies. I admit I just started to read his other novels, the last was a copy of Persuasion and Northanger Abbey is already here waiting for me on the shelf. Not to mention that Emma and Mansfield Park are on the list of future purchases.
Why I love Jane Austen? For the setting for sure, every time I read a book I find myself out of the blue in the English countryside of the nineteenth century, between humility and pomp, family problems and dance companies. And then not talk about the romance that springs from every page, but you feel the love that is almost 'denied' by the protagonists. Until the happy ending of the last page.
