“A Walk With Jane Austen, is an engaging and deeply personal memoir. Karen Joy Fowler, author of The Jane Austen Book Club, calls it "A lovely, intimate read." I have found it compelling for its honesty and heart.
I also found the memoir interesting because I lived in England when I was eighteen. So it was with bittersweet memories of the U.K. that I followed Lori Smith through England as she followed Jane Austen. But even if you haven't read Austen or you haven't been to England, if you are a woman, you will love this book of self discovery, love, and faith.
This is a great book. The author has an interview up on She Plants a Vineyard if anyone is interested. Here is the link: http://tinaannforkner.blogspot.com/2008/01/walk-with-jane-austen.html
