Clai...I think you would both enjoy these very much. Claire, there is a fascinating series of letters to Fanny Austen Knight, about whether she should marry this one particular young man, analyzing her feelings and also Austen's general ideas about marriage. Audrey, reading the letters makes me really like her as well!<br /><br />I've just started Seven Gables, and since I don't remember anything really but the little shop, I'm interested to see how the story develops.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-40358277888552188722011-10-11T08:14:16.230-05:002011-10-11T08:14:16.230-05:00I'm going to look for these...I've now rea...I'm going to look for these...I've now read all the novels (finally), and two or three biographies, and I find myself liking her (!) so much and wanting to read more.<br /><br />So glad you're reading The House of the Seven Gables with us! I hope you're enjoying it.

I've never read Austen's letters except as extracts in other books but now I really want to, particularly to see how her tone varies depending on who she is writing too. I know I've read parts of her letters to female family members but I'm not sure I've read any of her letters to Frank or her nephews.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
