Review at Christian Book Previews

There's a wonderful review over at Christian Book Previews:

The love story aspect of Smith's tour is wonderfully engaging, and the rarity of such intelligent and poetic writing makes reading this book pleasurable. In her memoir, Smith describes herself as thoughtful, passionate about faith, but uncomfortable with much of evangelical Christianity. Her candor and humor about the human failings of Christians, herself included, are extremely refreshing. . . .

I would recommend this to anyone who is remotely interested in Jane Austen, or to those who simply are hungry for an interesting and well-written memoir. (. . .)

They've also posted chapter one.

I finished reading A Walk with Jane Austen yesterday, and I enjoyed it -- especially your "candor and humor".
