''When did you first discover Jane Austen?''

To love the works of Jane Austen is to understand that every time you read them, they will yield up something new (and yes, I really must re-read ''Mansfield Park''). So no, there was no lightning-flash moment of discovery. My appreciation of her genius crept up on me slowly. But then this is the woman who ordered her sister to burn all their correspondence before she died. Sharp-tongued and lively as she was, she was also immensely discreet. Perhaps it’s entirely fitting then that the true genius of her work reveals itself gradually, one delicious reading after another.
