One of The Globe and Mail's Best Books of 2020"A thoroughly authentic, smart and consoling account of one writers commitment to another." The New York Times Book Review (editors' choice)"An absolutely fascinating book: I will never read Austen the same way again." Helen Macdonald, author of H is for HawkAn astonishingly nuanced reading of Jane Austen that yields a rare understanding of how to live"About seven years ago, not too long before our daughter was born, and a year before my father died, Jane Austen became my only author."In the turbulent period around the birth of her first child and the death of her father, Rachel Cohen turned to Jane Austen to make sense of her new reality. For Cohen, simultaneously griefstricken and buoyed by the birth of her daughter, reading Austen became her refuge and her ballast. She was able to reckon with difficult questions about mourning, memorializing, living in a household, paying attention to the world, reading, writing, and imagining through Austens novels.Austen Years is a deeply felt and sensitive examination of a writers relationship to reading, and to her own family, winding together memoir, criticism, and biographical and historical material about Austen herself. And like the sequence of Austens novels, the scope of Austen Years widens successively, with each chapter following one of Austen's novels. We begin with Cohen in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where she raises her small children and contemplates her fathers last letter, a moment paired with the grief of Sense and Sensibility and the social bonds of Pride and Prejudice. Later, moving with her family to Chicago, Cohen grapples with her growing children, teaching, and her fathers legacy, all refracted through the denser, more complex Mansfield Park and Emma.With unusual depth and fresh insight into Austens life and literature, and guided by Austens mournful and hopeful final novel, Persuasion, Rachel Cohens Austen Years is a rare memoir of mourning and transcendence, a love letter to a literary master, and a powerful consideration of the odd process that merges our interior experiences with the world at large.
