-------------

Where better to celebrate the 250th birthday of one of Britain's most beloved novelists than the very rooms from which she quietly changed the world?

In this bestselling biography, Lucy Worsley travels from room to room, house to house, showing us how and why Jane Austen lived as she did, examining the places and spaces that mattered to her. It wasn't all country houses and ballrooms, but a life that was often a painful struggle. Jane famously lived a 'life without incident', but with new research and insights Lucy Worsley reveals a passionate woman who fought for her freedom. A woman who far from being a lonely spinster in fact had at least five marriage prospects, but who in the end refused to settle for anything less than Mr Darcy.

Featuring a guided tour of all the best Jane Austen sites to visit specially written for this birthday edition, this gorgeous book is perfect for Austen fans everywhere.

Critical acclaim for Jane Austen at Home:

'This is my kind of history: carefully researched but so vivid that you are convinced Lucy Worsley was actually there at the party - or the parsonage.' ― Antonia Fraser

'Jane Austen at Home offers a fascinating look at Jane Austen's world through the lens of the homes in which she lived and worked throughout her life. The result is a refreshingly unique perspective on Austen and her work and a beautifully nuanced exploration of gender, creativity, and domesticity.' ― Amanda Foreman

'A must for any Austenite.' ― Red magazine

'Brilliant and very moving, this book is a fascinating and original exploration of Jane Austen with lots of new material - Worsley brings Austen to life superbly, through her pages she is a flesh and blood woman, intelligent, powerful, contradictory, loving, loved. A magnificent book.' ― Kate Williams

'Rarely, if ever, will you encounter a historian so in command of their material. Truly, this is a dazzling exercise in persuasion, written with sense and sensibility.' ― Saturday Express

'Worsley offers us much that Austen's admirers wish to know... [she] is entirely convincing.' ― New York Times

I enjoyed listening to Lucy's thoughts and perceptions of Jane Austin's life and writings. She gives us a modern and thoroughly absorbing take on how Jane's character may be understood through her writings and I certainly like to think of Jane as being a subversive observer of life and love. Thank you Lucy, as engaging audibly as you are on screen.

Thoughtful, perceptive and entertaining

As an Austen fan it was interesting to hear Jane’s own story. Loved hearing about her life and how it influenced her stories.

Loved the fact that Lucy Worsley herself did the audible version. She brought it to life
