“Glorious! Xandra cleverly highlights certain aspects of the story and characters most relevant to a heroine in training. Getting the letters each week encouraged me to carve a little more time out of each day to indulge in reading . Is there anything as sumptuous as the first reading of a Jane Austen novel?! Cast your mind back; it’s truly wonderful." - Sara

“Letters from Jane Austen is a fun way of deepening your understanding of Austen’s novels. Xandra’s thoughts helped me to place some of the characters and their relationships, and each letter gave me something new to consider as I worked my way through the novel.” - Amy

"Each letter is carefully crafted with words that are wise and yet so relatable. It’s quite like having tea with Jane Austen herself." - Erin
