“The range of the contributors leaves the reader with a sense of how important Austen is to writers in particular, who see in her not simply an antecedent or role model but as an old friend who, with constancy and wit, is always there during those transitional moments in life–the very moments that Austen herself wrote about with such precision. A loving tribute to a legendary author whose work continues to resonate in the current day.” — Kirkus Reviews
