Marriage: Vintage Minis Paperback – 5 April 2018
Purchase options and add-ons
Why do we set so much store by marriage? Jane Austen was fascinated by this question, subjecting it to her forensic eye and wonderfully ironic wit again and again. Here are stolen glances and nervous advances, meddling parents and self-important cousins, society whisperings and the fluttering hearts of young lovers. All of them have their own views and expectations of marriage, and Austen’s are the wisest of all.
Selected from the novels Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion by Jane Austen.
VINTAGE MINIS: GREAT MINDS. BIG IDEAS. LITTLE BOOKS.
A series of short books by the world’s greatest writers on the experiences that make us human

About the author
Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775 at Steventon near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. After his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother; in 1809, they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until in May 1817 she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on July 18, 1817. As a girl Jane Austen wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were only published after much revision, four novels being published in her lifetime. These are Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma(1816). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. Persuasion was written in a race against failing health in 1815-16. She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel, The Watsons. At the time of her death, she was working on a new novel, Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which survives.

3.0 out of 5 stars Adorable!💛
"Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love." - Northanger Abbey
MARRIAGE by JANE AUSTEN is compilation of some beautiful stories about love, apprehensions and anxiety along with excitement and all things trivial and grave about finding the right one!
Well, these stories are adorable and charming in their own way coated with Austen's wit and wisdom. Beautiful descriptions of balls and dances, drapes and gowns, sunshine and breeze, successfully captured bonds between siblings and family ties, make the reading experience delightful.
I don't have one favourite since I like them all. Their also quite relatable if you have siblings or cousins who are yet to tie the knot...💛
Rating: 3.5/5
