In her later years, Jane Austen made a patchwork quilt. She folded thousands of tiny scraps of fabric over diamond-shaped slips of paper and painstakingly stitched them together. Kate Evans employs these slivers of cloth to illustrate Jane Austen's life story, teasing apart the threads that connect Austen's beloved novels, the events of her life, and the fabric of society in Regency England.
