Hi Natalie! Which Austen character do you most identify with?... Or is it Jane herself? And also have you ever watched PBS Sanditon? It was Jane Austen's unfinished novel! she was only 12 chapters in when she passed away. It aired in January I loved it♥ Thank you for your time, have a wonderful day:-) BTW what's your favorite form of chocolate?
Natalie Jenner
I always say, I'd like to be Elizabeth Bennet, identify most with Elinor Dashwood, and fear I am an EMMA ;)
I did watch Sanditon - the first time through, I held it to too high a standard in my desperation for more of REAL Austen writing - on a second watch, I relaxed into it as a product of Andrew Davies's own talents and imagination and enjoyed it much more that way. I pretty much devoured the last three episodes.
As for chocolate, I love all forms, but will always have a weak spot as a British-Canadian for Cadbury's Fruit & Nut ;)
Stay well!

Not a question, but a comment...I received this ARC yesterday. To say I hit the wall in this week of pandemic is an understatement. I put my work, laptop, notepad of things to do aside late yesterday and picked up the book. I was lost in the story in the best way possible and emerged half-way through the book feeling less anxious. The characters are wonderful! Thank you for this gem!? (needs a question mark)

Hi Natalie I'm sorry to hear about your husband's illness. I wanted to ask a more personal question but then realised it was totally insensitive and stupid as I don't even know you. So my question is just this: How many times have you read Pride and Prejudice in your life and is it a book you turn to during certain challenges over the years?

Natalie Jenner:
Hi Natalie. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind helping me find my next Jane Austen novel to read? I've watched the 2005 pride and prejudice movie and LOVED IT! and I'm currently reading sense and sensibility and finding it highly enjoyable! What might be a good next pick. Do you ever get tired of this type of question or since your a bookseller so you enjoy recommending people books? Thank you for your time
