Kipling and Churchill found solace in her writings during times of war and illness. Mark Twain had a love\/hate relationship with her work. And then, there’s our celebrity culture: the television hit \u003cem\u003ePride and Prejudice\u003c\/em\u003e, the award-winning 1995 film \u003cem\u003eSense and Sensibility\u003c\/em\u003e, and all the remakes and prequels and sequels. Modern-day Jane Austen fans just can’t seem to leave her characters alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Janeia” is the author’s term for the mania for all things Austen. This biography captures the varied sides of Austen’s character and places her Christian faith in a more balanced light and with less distortion than has been achieved previously. It is a delightful journey through a life spent making up stories that touched the lives of millions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003eJane Austen\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“I was riveted by Leithart's excellent biography of Austen, the woman who profoundly influenced me to search for the universal truth in my novels.
