(3) YA Bennett imagines the story of the young Jane Austen (called Jenny) penning novels, looking for love, and struggling for independence in a patriarchal British society. While this book is more simplistic than Austen's own novels, it picks up on similar themes (e.g., love, class system, family). Austen aficionados will be happy to find a well-drawn, strong-willed heroine.
