Overview
A special new edition celebrating Jane Austen's 250th birthday: blending truth and fiction, the delightful collection of letters Fay Weldon sent her 'niece' about reading Jane Austen, the act of creation and the joys of writing
Alice is an eighteen-year-old student and aspiring novelist with green spiky hair, a child of the modern age who recoils at the idea of reading Jane Austen. In a sequence of letters reminiscent of Jane Austen''s to her own niece, ''aunt'' Fay examines the rewards of such study. Not only is her correspondence a revealing tribute to a great writer - it is also an original and rewarding exploration of the craft of fiction itself.
