EGSM 11 - Romance and Romance-ability (Patreon)

In today’s episode, you must allow Helen, Sasha, Lydia, and Maddy to tell you how ardently they admire and love the works of Jane Austen.

We chat about the trials and tribulations of how we got into the books in the first place, our favourite characters and relationships, and the various merits of the many film and TV adaptations of Austen’s work.

Top quote: "They feel small, but that's fine, because it is also a delighting in the smallness of real life and existing, and the skill that it takes to navigate those things."
