Just after the Second World War, in the small English village of Chawton, an unusual but like-minded group of people band together to attempt something remarkable that preserves both Jane Austen's home and her legacy . . .  

A powerful and moving novel that explores the tragedies and triumphs of life, both large and small, and the universal humanity in us all, The Jane Austen Society is destined to resonate with readers for years to come.

"Anyone seeking an antidote to contemporary chaos will find a welcome respite among the members of a group whose outer lives may appear simple, but whose inner lives need the kind of balm Austen knew well." -- The Washington Post
