If you have read Austen, reading the story will be a richer experience for you. Although there are many references to Austen’s work throughout the story, I don’t think you need to have read Jane Austen to follow or appreciate the story. The Jane Austen Society is character-driven (although there’s a suspenseful plot element), charming, relationship-centered, and filled with likable characters (the maid is my favorite!). Writing: Fans of Jane Austen will appreciate this imagined story of the first Jane Austen Society and that it is written in the style of an Austen novel. Although they are very different from each other, they each share a deep connection with and a great love for the works of Austen. A local doctor, a young widow, a young farmer, a descendant of Austen’s, a young maid, and a movie star are among the group, and the story is told through their unique perspectives.

In this imagined story that takes place shortly after WW11, a number of devoted Austen fans band together to preserve the home and her legacy. Jane Austen’s final home was located in Chawton, England.
