“These conversations were exhilarating. They alerted me to the way shared reading could be a source of light in a dark world, forging friendships and creating like-minded communities.”
Ruth Wilson, The Jane Austen Remedy

“Like multitudes of readers before and after me, I read it several times. I heard it in my head. This was language, prose language, used as I had never heard it: It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”
Ruth Wilson, The Jane Austen Remedy

“Austen’s novels have the peculiar attribute of being both popular with readers in search of entertainment and endlessly interesting for those who turn to fiction as a source of illumination about literature and the human condition.”
Ruth Wilson, The Jane Austen Remedy
