In the class-obsessed world of English society in 1795, money and social rank made the world go round and marrying for love was considered a fool’s game.
 
Mr and Mrs Austen, with their youngest daughter still unmarried, were only too aware of this. But at the age of 20 and blessed with a feisty independent spirit, Jane sees a world beyond class and commerce, beyond pride and prejudice.
 

She wants to marry for love.  Enter Tom Lefroy – young, handsome and charming – a seemingly ideal candidate but is Jane right to let her emotions rule her head?
