Jane Austen's richly textured worlds have enchanted readers for centuries and this neatly organised, playful book provides Austen enthusiasts and students alike with a unique insight into the much-loved writer's way with words. Using a lively A-Z structure, Greaney provides fresh angles on familiar Austen themes (D is for dance M is for matchmaking), casts light on under-examined corners of her imagination (R is for risk S is for servant), and shows how current social and cultural concerns are re-shaping our understanding of her work (Q is for queer W is for West Indies). Through this approach, we learn how attention to the tiniest linguistic detail in Austen's work can yield rewarding new perspectives on the achievements of one of our most celebrated authors. Sharply focused on textual detail but broad in scope it broaches questions that, like Austen's work, will intrigue, delight and inspire: Why are children so marginal in her storylines? Who is the best exponent of matchmaking in her fiction? Why are many of her female characters - but none of her heroines - called Jane? Providing a new close-up encounter with one of our most celebrated writers, this book invites a renewed appreciation of the infinite subtlety and endless re-readability of a body of writing in which every word counts.

How far would you go to discover your destiny? It's the cusp of Natasha Sizlo's forty-fourth birthday. Still reeling from her disastrous divorce, she's navigating life as a single mum alongside a cutthroat career in LA real estate. In the meantime, her ex-husband is dating a Hollywood star and she's just broken it off with her handsome but non-committal French boyfriend. Just when it seems things can't get worse, her beloved father is given months to live. So when she's gifted a session with an astrologist, Natasha - though a sceptic - figures she has nothing to lose. The reading is so eerily accurate that Natasha asks about her ex-boyfriend, the Frenchman she can't get over. To her surprise, the astrologist tells her that he is perfect for her. His birthday and birthplace - 2 November 1968 in Paris - line up with her astrological point of destiny. Natasha is distraught. Panicked, even. Is he really The One? Then she has a lightning bolt of an idea: her ex isn't the only man born on 2 November 1968 in Paris. Natasha's soulmate is still out there - she just has to find him. Unforgettable, inspiring and with a dusting of astrological magic, Natasha's journey reveals what can happen when you ask the universe for what you want and open your heart when the answer finally comes.
