From a review---in ref to the author, Stella Tillyard: "She's mixed impeccable research, a sharp eye for detail and a writing style that's both precise and lively to produce a biography of a clan, which doubles as a panoramic history of the aristocracy in the 1700s. Each sister's defining characteristics shine through their letters, portraits and Tillyard's terrific storytelling." It seems to be classified as History. Came on a funny quote by Jane Austen last night-- History tells me nothing that does not either vex or weary me. The quarrels of popes and kings, with wars and pestilences in every page; the men all so good for nothing and hardly any women at all--it is very tiresome. From Northanger Abbey
