In reply to Silver Screenings. I've been to Bath once, but I didn't take the opportunity to read an Austen novel at the same time!

I read this some time ago, when I visited Bath, so I love this novel. Maybe it was due to being in Bath, but it definitely has a special place in my heart.

It isn’t her most popular work, but I liked it.

In reply to R A I N. I knew you would love this one :) The gothic theme makes it quite different from her other books. I haven't seen the film, or at least I don't remember seeing it.

In reply to The busy shelf. I hope you enjoy this one when you get to it :) Because she wrote it early in her writing career, it has some similarities to 18th century novels which were in fashion at the time. It's also 2 volumes instead of the usual 3.

I haven’t read this yet! I have it in my library if I’m not wrong, I should definitely get to it. I’m very curious to see how it’s written, you intrigued me with ” although it doesn’t have the depth and maturity evidenced in Austen’s later works.”. Jane Austen is that author, for me, from whom I would read anything, even just to study it if not necessarily enjoy it ( although it seems impossible to not enjoy her work)
