Jane Austen: A Biography par Elizabeth Jenkins
Not super in-depth but told in an Austen-like style. The audio version is ridiculously calming.
This was a phenomenal read, brilliant in the way it establishes its characters and then sat back and pressed play so that the characters may continue to meander along their courses to bounce and collide off of each other.
