Jane Austen s world-famous novels give readers a small glimpse into the author s real life, which was filled with as many ups and downs as those of Emma Woodhouse or Elizabeth Bennet. She too had to navigate her way through a stratified society, filled with rules and repressions that she strove to break. But Austen was even more fascinating than her fiery female protagonists. In 'Jane Austen: Obstinate Heart, ' Valerie Grosvenor Myer explores the writer s life with detail that will make Austen s books even more enjoyable for fans. Grosvenor Myer, who has previously written biographies of Margaret Drabble and Charlotte Bronte, delves into letters, family memories, and Austen s novels to illuminate a perceptive picture of the woman herself and the social climate in which she lived. Surprises abound, and the reader is left with a sense of relief that Austen remained true to her obstinate heart. This is an invaluable companion for anyone who has been absorbed in one of her spirited novels. '
