Who needs modern self-help gurus when a 19th century novelist had it all worked out?
Just like Jane Austen characters Elizabeth Bennett, Elinor Dashwood, Anne Elliot and Emma Woodhouse - we all want true love, a comfortable life and to be happy.
Austen’s sharp wit and keen life observations continue to ring true today, with their universal themes of happiness, friendship, marriage, love and money.
Be advised, warned and charmed!
Her parents were avid readers, and the highlight of the week for Colleen was to visit the local library every Friday night.
From an early age she loved books and in primary school started to read many of the classics, such as:
David Copperfield
Sense and Sensibility and
Jane Eyre.
However, Jane Austen has always remained a favorite because of the clever language, humour and words of wisdom.
Because of her love of language, Colleen has made a career out of technical writing where she documents processes and procedures. Her love of language and phototgrahy was also the basis of her previous book 'Bear With Me'.
