What Jane Austen Taught Me about Love & Romance What does Jane Austen know about love and romance? Didn't she live many years ago and is not with the times of the 21st century? She is probably best known for her writings of "Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense and Sensibility." She wrote more books but they might not be as well known as these two. Debra White desires to show the timeless beauty and relationship qualities of the 1800's to today's. You just might realize that things aren't all that different or perhaps we should go back to the basics. Debra White Smith has written a Jane Austen fiction series before embarking on writing this book. She has created a book that shows so many aspects of the word we simply say: love. She breaks each chapter into a writing of its own. She takes a verse of the chapter about love in the Holy Bible: 1 Corinthians 13; she then draws out how one of Jane Austen's books bring out that aspect of love. Oftentimes she uses her own experiences to both enhance her book with humor but also say that she has been there and that is how she draws her conclusions. In current times, so often it seems like we have forgotten what love and romance should be like. Is it that we were never taught or have we neglected our basic good manners and caring attitudes to interfere with our personal relationships with the ones we say we love? "What Jane Austen Taught Me about Love & Romance" is a must read for everyone who is in a love and romantic relationship, has ever been in love or romance, or hopes to find themselves in a romantic love relationship further on in life. I found myself agreeing with many points in the book as well as having a few laughs at Debra's encounters with people. If only we knew what we need to know about love and romance and knew where to find the answers. Perhaps we should look back to the centuries past; we may just find out that there is wisdom in those "required" books which can help us today. |
