Jane Digby’s Diary: To Begin, Begin
February 8, 2022 By
Here is your chance to read someone else’s diary – with her permission, of course. Jane Digby was a woman ahead of her time. Born in 1807 to wealth and privilege in Dorset, England, she sacrificed respectability to travel the world in pursuit of true love, all the while sampling contenders along the way! Any reader of her diary (and yes, it is written as an actual diary) should love history and language and have an appreciation of independent women who chart their own paths.
This volume is the first in a completed four-part series which chronicles Jane’s life from seventeen to sixty-six. Though a modern work of historical fiction, I strived to recreate the historical Jane Digby and her times as accurately as possible. I would love for you to read it. CR
