I knew nothing about her before touring her home and learned enough to pique my interest. I have since read a YA Biography of her and have discovered that she was a quite an accomplished and independent woman. I have since been wanting to read one of her books and had decided on The Age of Innocence, since it won the Pulitzer. Quite the coincidence! I will have to move this book up on my list.<br /><br />BTW, I've never read any Austen either.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04589606390781637262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-52082164764090567802010-12-03T17:26:40.011-05:002010-12-03T17:26:40.011-05:00I was also averse to reading books with characters...I was also averse to reading books with characters in high society because of their ignorance & snobbery.
