Back by popular demand! In 2025 our Virtual Book Club will run monthly from February – November, covering all of Jane Austen’s novels as well as her teenage works and letters. Bring your thoughts, ideas and observations… bring tea and quotes and questions… expect stimulating discussion and debate!

Join us for our first Virtual Book Club of 2025 in this special anniversary year – a lively online space in which we will discuss all things Jane Austen!

We’re kicking off with Jane Austen’s wild and surprising teenage writings – full of girls behaving badly, speeding plots and cartoonish characters. There’s no doubt about it, this is Austen as you’ve never seen her before!

We’ll get the ball rolling with questions, ideas and provocations about these extraordinary short works, and then it’s over to you – as a group we’ll share thoughts, theories, favourites and best-bits. You’ll want to read the book before-hand.. you can pick it up here or read more about the teenage stories on our website.

Whether you love them, hate them or have no idea where to look (!), join us to share your love of this internationally beloved author’s coming-of-age works. We can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

Grab a cup of tea and join us for an hour of blissful discussion with fellow Jane Austen fans around the world!
