Natalie Jenner
When my husband was diagnosed in 2016 with a serious hereditary and incurable disease, I returned to reading books by my favourite authors, chief among whom is Jane Austen. In the fall of 2017 I was fortunate to indulge in a solo bucket list trip to the International Jane Austen Festival in Bath, UK, as well as the village of Chawton, where Austen revised or wrote all her books (and which would become the primary setting of my own future novel). Following these travels, I immersed myself in research on Jane Austen and the important houses in her life, and over time developed the idea for my own book about a group of villagers at the end of WWII coming together to save places so critical to her legacy.

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
