A special new edition of a modern classic, 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
In this charming sequence of fictional letters - inspired by those Jane Austen sent to her own niece - 'Aunt Fay' writes to her niece Alice, an eighteen-year-old student and aspiring writer with green hair and zero interest in reading Austen for her college English class.
As Aunt Fay responds to her niece's complaints, what begins as a passionate defence of the joys and rewards of wide reading, soon becomes a sparkling tribute to Austen's enduring brilliance - and an exploration of the craft and pleasure of fiction itself.
Witty, ironic, and full of deep wisdom, Letters to Alice is a love letter to books from one of British literature's most original voices.
