Natalie Jenner’s debut novel, The Jane Austen Society, releases tomorrow, and it’s my great honor to share with you my interview with Natalie for Jane Austen’s World blog! My interview went live today and kicks off an enormous virtual online book tour for this incredible new book.
Here is a short synopsis of Natalie’s novel to pique your interest!
Book Description for The Jane Austen Society:
One hundred and fifty years ago, Chawton was the final home of Jane Austen, one of England’s finest novelists. Now it’s home to a few distant relatives and their diminishing estate. With the last bit of Austen’s legacy threatened, a group of disparate individuals come together to preserve both Jane Austen’s home and her legacy. These people—a laborer, a young widow, the local doctor, and a movie star, among others—could not be more different and yet they are united in their love for the works and words of Austen. As each of them endures their own quiet struggle with loss and trauma, some from the recent war, others from more distant tragedies, they rally together to create the Jane Austen Society.
I loved the book and had a fantastic time interviewing Natalie this spring. She and I have become friends, and we had a LOT of fun with this interview. I hope you enjoy reading about her journey! To read my interview, please visit Jane Austen’s World here:
