Jane Austen

Sarah S. G. Frantz

With its endearingly misspelled title, this collection of brief experimental sketches reveals the making of one of the best-loved authors of British literature. It includes stories that demonstrate the lively mind and ready wit of a teenage girl living in the late eighteenth century.

“This was too cruel, to unexpected a Blow to our Gentle Sensibility - we could not support it - we could only faint.”

I think I sprained both eyeballs from rolling them so hard and so frequently at this story. Which was most likely the point. Ms. Austen’s objective in writing this story at the tender age of fifteen was to convey that, for the most part, teenagers are kind of terrible. Or at least, that’s what I got from it. She made her point and made it well, but I can’t say that I enjoyed this story as much as the other five I’ve read by her. Lady Susan was a tasteful comedy of errors; Love and Freindship was over the top. The dramedy was strong with this one.

And no, I didn’t spell the title wrong.
