The Mommies Reviews

I wanted to share a new book with you called Jane Austen’s Little Book of Wisdom: Words on Love, Life, Society, and Literature by Jane Austen (Author), Andrea Kirk Assaf (Compiler), I received the book in exchange for this review. Inside this post is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the products you purchase.

Jane Austin is one of the Author’s I’ve known about since High School s I got older I feel in love with Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. I believe everyone should read those books at least once. Don’t you?

Having Jane Austen’s Little Book of Wisdom: Words on Love, Life, Society, and Literature allows me to have parts of the books I love in a pocket book size I can take anywhere I go. The cover of the book with the blues and blacks is so pretty. I like the old fashioned silhouette of the women.

Inside the book are chapters on Love & Longing and Friendship and other chapters I’ve not going to mention. You will need to pick up a copy of the book to find out what they were. What till you open the book and see that amazing house which would take up a whole City block.

The quotes in the book will remind you not only of the present times but past times as well. I can’t wait to share the information in the book with my friends and family. In the back of the book is blank pages to write out thoughts down on what we read.

I liked finding a list of all of Jane Austin’s books which I can’t wait to check out. If we had been #Homeschooling still I would have picked out some of the books for Charlie to read in his Homeschool Reading Class.

About the book:

The ultimate companion for the Jane Austen fan filled with her penetrating insights and humor on life, love, and death.

“A valuable resource for any Austen lover to use for quick reference or to read through.” —Library Journal


Jane Austen is one of the most popular female writers in history, best known for her stories of love, loss, and hope, which are cleverly intertwined with her witty insights into the traits and expectations of English Georgian society.
 
Here, in this stunning little book, you will be able to read hundreds of individual quotes from her famous works—from Pride and Prejudice and Emma to Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility—each prompting an emotional response, thoughtful musing, or even a little snigger at the wise and shrewd perceptions that Austen had of the world around her.
