Reviews

My favourite writer is Jane Austen and I've read all her books so many times I've lost count J K Rowling

Thanks to her sharp wit and strong female characters, Jane Austens literature is still utterly relevant Shes not just a writer, shes a cult, a brand and a cultural touchstone STYLIST

All Jane Austens novels are classical comedies: they are about young couples finding their way toward a festive conclusion, namely marriage Martin Amis
