Jane Austen at Home: A Biography by Lucy Worsley

I thought I'd start a thread since at least one other person is reading this right now.

I won't spoil my thoughts on the book as a whole, but I do feel like I got more out of it because I've also read Claire Tomalin's biography, which Worsely references (and argues with) throughout.

I appreciated the tone overall, and the approach. Late last year, I read Jenn Shapland's My Autobiography of Carson McCullers. This quote from Worsley's introduction struck a very similar tone:

Quote:
This is, unashamedly, the story of my Jane, every word of it written with love.
