Unable to dismiss her feelings of unexplainable sadness, she made the radical decision to retreat from her conventional life with her husband to a sunshine-yellow cottage in the Southern Highlands where she lived alone for the next decade.Ruth had fostered a lifelong love of reading, and from the moment she first encountered Pride and Prejudice in the 1940s she had looked to Jane Austens heroines as her models for the sort of woman she wanted to become.As Ruth settled into her cottage, she resolved to re-read Austens six novels and rediscover the heroines who had inspired her; to read between the lines of both the novels and her own life. And as she read, she began to reclaim her voice.The Jane Austen Remedy is a beautiful, life-affirming memoir of love, self-acceptance and the curative power of reading.
