Rezensionen

'What a wonderful book! Jane Austen's Bookshelf has everything a reader could desire: wit, passion, mystery, brilliant detective work, a love of rare books, a deep dive into literary history and, best of all, the restoration of reputation for a group of great women authors whose names should never have been forgotten. I loved this book, and it will live on my own shelf forever' Elizabeth Gilbert author of Eat, Pray, Love
