Alice is an eighteen-year-old student and aspiring novelist with green spiky hair, a child of the modern age who recoils at the idea of reading Jane Austen. In a sequence of letters reminiscent of Jane Austen''s to her own niece, ''aunt'' Fay examines the rewards of such study. Not only is her correspondence a revealing tribute to a great writer - it is also an original and rewarding exploration of the craft of fiction itself.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A love letter to Jane Austen and to the power of reading by an icon of British literature 'Wise and wonderfully funny' The Times 'Splendid' Guardian 'It should be required reading' New York Times Book Review Blending truth and fiction, the delightful collection of letters Fay Weldon sent her 'niece' about reading Jane Austen, the act of creation and the joys of writing In this charming sequence of fictional letters - inspired by those Jane Austen sent to her own niece - 'Aunt Fay' writes to her niece Alice, an eighteen-year-old student and aspiring writer with green hair and zero interest in reading Austen for her college English class. As Aunt Fay responds to her niece's complaints, what begins as a passionate defence of the joys and rewards of wide reading, soon becomes a sparkling tribute to Austen's enduring brilliance - and an exploration of the craft and pleasure of fiction itself. Witty, ironic, and full of deep wisdom, Letters to Alice is a love letter to books from one of British literature's most original voices. 'Shrewd and funny' Times Literary Supplement 'Full of pithy reflections on Jane Austen's life and the society of the day . . . full of unsuspected wisdom' Daily Telegraph. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR001387130
