Beck Henreckson's Reviews > Jane Austen's Letters

I've been wanting to try to read more letters — and then I realized I'd had these for like 10 years without reading them. Definitely was a bit of a slog, as I didnt know who people were or what was going on, and they are not at all narrative or reflective, but just practical and disjointed and deeply personal. But I did feel like I was getting to know her and the relationships closest to her, and I found myself unexpectedly identifying with her as a single woman getting older, talking to her sister and her niece. And I cried at the end.
