“Scheinman is the supreme pathfinder…. Laugh-out-loud funny, insightful and snarky…. Listening to the story of his life-long Austen immersion by his family and his reactions to modern-day Jane Austen culture was as delightfully witty as reading an unguarded version of Austen herself.” — Laurel Ann Nattress, Austen Prose

“[A] deeply charming memoir.” — Jace Lacob, PBS Masterpiece

“A treat for any Jane Austen fan … While Scheinman is clearly an astute reader of Austen―he includes numerous analyses of Austen’s life and work that are insightful and often quite funny―this is also a fascinating window into a man’s experience in a largely female world. Scheinman is a wonderful guide to the world of Austen, and this honest and thoughtful discussion of the role Austen’s works have played in his family will delight any Janeite.” ―Booklist
