Advice delivered with sense and sensibility just in time for the major motion picture Becoming Jane BRView our feature on Austen-inspired books and special content. BR Women have looked to Jane Austen's heroines as models of appropriate behavior for nearly two centuries. Who better to understand the heart of a heroine than Austen In this delightful epistolary what if, Austen serves as a Dear Abby of sorts, using examples from her novels and her life to counsel modern-day heroines in trouble, she also shares with readers a compelling drama playing out in her own drawing room. Witty and wise--and perfectly capturing the tone of the author of Persuasion and Pride and Prejudice--Dear Jane Austen is as satisfying as sitting down to tea with the novelist herself.
