'Winning and beguiling ... Smith shares Jane Austen's clarity and gentle irony' IndependentJane Austen is one of the most beloved writers in the literary canon. Her novels changed the landscape of fiction for ever, and her books remain as fresh, entertaining and witty as the day they were first published.

The author of five books, she teaches creative writing at the University of Southampton and has been Writer in Residence at Jane Austen's House Museum
