An inspirational and entertaining collection for book lovers everywhere, bringing together the best quotes, reflections and affirmations from one of the greatest novelists of all time, Jane Austen.
Featuring a host of quotations displaying Austen’s sharp – and indeed, often wicked – social observation and satirical wit, this funny and wise book will strike a chord with fans of the author as well as readers new to her writing.

Lauded for her eloquence, observation and wry humour, Jane Austen was a novelist who was highly regarded and greatly celebrated in her own time. However, her appeal is as great as ever, and her insights remain as fresh and relevant today as when they were first published.

Beautifully packaged and published to tie-in with the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth, this delightful and absorbing collection of thematic extracts from her beloved novels such as Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Persuasion, as well as extracts from Austen’s letters, compiles the author’s sharpest, most profound and amusing observations on human nature, money, marriage, life and society, and more. The Wicked Wit of Jane Austen is a charming tribute to a writer whose work will resonate for centuries to come.

Dominique Enright is a freelance writer and editor. Although born in the UK, she spent much of her childhood abroad, notably Thailand and Singapore. She has a degree in English Language and Literature from Oxford University. Her previous works for Michael O'Mara Books include The Wicked Wit of Winston Churchill and The Wicked Wit of Jane Austen, and she is also the compiler and editor of selections from the verse of Burns, Keats, Kipling and Wordsworth.
