Here, readers witness the births of all eight Austen children and discover the individual paths, personalities, and fortunes that shaped their lives, as well as the wider circle of relatives, friends, and neighbours who formed the fabric of their world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet against the backdrop of the French Revolutionary Wars, the story reveals how global events reached even the quietest corners of rural England, influencing the choices and circumstances of the Austen family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrounded in letters, memoirs, and ancestral records, this novel brings the entire Austen family to life with warmth, accuracy, and vivid historical detail - offering a richly textured portrait of the world that shaped Jane Austen long before she became a literary icon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.79 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 13, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50347510923501,"sku":"9781738453108","price":19.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/SENr9SOQ3o9781738453108.webp?v=1785232475","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/products\/the-austens-of-steventon-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
