Reviews

“Evokes the charm of a Jane Austen novel with lively prose…Wilson relies on Austen’s letters, family memoirs, travel guides, and other publications of the era to create an enchanting biographical sketch…Austen enthusiasts and any reader interested in late 18th– and early 19th–century English society will relish this title.” — Library Journal

#1 Non–Fiction Austen–Inspired Title of 2014: “A perfect combination of detailed research, engaging prose, and exquisite illustrations." — Austenprose

Selected for Women’s Wear Daily’s “Elements of Style: Fall Book Roundup”

“Whether you are a newcomer, or a longtime Austen devotee, this book cannot fail to encourage your own further exploration of her life, times, and work.” — Mary Guyatt, curator of Jane Austen’s House Museum

“At Home with Jane Austen is the perfect companion to Austen’s novels” — The Lady magazine

“This charming volume will no doubt find an appreciative audience. Wilson (Tea with Jane Austen) once again leads the reader through a specific aspect of Austen's life—in this case, the physical spaces which she lived in or visited…Quotes from Austen's letters convey the day–to–day experience of living in these places, and examples from her work demonstrate how often these experiences found their way into the novels… even casual fans should enjoy following in the beloved author's footsteps. — Publishers Weekly

As an ardent admirer of the impeccable research and informative prose found in Kim Wilson’s previous works—Tea with Jane Austen and In the Garden with Jane Austen—I was beyond excited to see she has yet again published another comprehensive and artfully arranged tome about Jane Austen’s life and time…A thoughtful, engaging, and superbly executed compilation! A must read for any Janeite who wants to share a visit with Jane Austen at home. I sincerely hope we will see more books of this nature from the talented pen of Kim Wilson…Brava, Ms. Wilson! This one is another gem! — Austenesque Reviews
