discover the key to living a happy life” (8). There are many lines that resonated with me, including, right away, Adam’s appreciation that reading helps him “experience things from other people’s points of view and learn their lessons alongside them, and-most important. There is such beautiful language and, for any fan of Jane’s, such a compelling premise as Jenner takes us back in time to meet a farmer (Adam Berwick) in Chawton and an American woman (Mimi Harrison) following our collective heart (to a home where Austen flourished) but without the internet and 100 more years of research and Austen fandom to help her on the journey.
