Título: The Austens of Steventon
Autor: Diane Jane Ball
Sinopse: Jane Austen was not born famous. It was not until she reached the age of thirty-five that she saw her first novel in print, and she died six years later completely unaware of the legacy she was to leave behind. This story takes place long before that when Jane was a young girl growing up in a large family.
Opening with her parents’ wedding in 1764, the narrative follows Mr and Mrs Austen to their first home in Deane and then on to Steventon. You will bear witness to the births of all eight of their children and discover the individual life stories of them all, as well as their relatives and their friends. This was the time of American Independence and the French Revolutionary Wars and you will see how these international affairs affected even the smallest of rural communities.
Based upon true historical facts, the timeline of the novel follows the same run of events as recorded in letters, memoirs, and ancestral records. The Austens of Steventon brings the entire family to life like no other work has before.
