It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen never married. But that doesn’t mean she never fell in love!
Let us take you back to Christmastime 1775, where young Jane Austen encounters and falls for the Irish law student, Tom Lefroy. Why didn’t she and Tom marry? How serious was their relationship? And how does Tom appear in her books Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion? We discuss all this & more with help from Kel’s sister (and Mel’s cousin), Kaitlyn the historian!
