Funnily enough, I am actually reading a Jane Austen novel at the moment, Mansfield Park! I have also just purchased Northanger Abbey as I have not yet had the pleasure of reading it yet.
I understand where your Aunt is coming from and when I read old books from years ago I always think in the same way too, that you have to think of it in the context of the time it was written and how the people lived back then. Instead of not reading the books we can read them and learn about that time, but also know that that's not how we live now. I just adore Jane Austen's way of writing and her story plots! 😊
A really thought provoking post, thank you for sharing. 🤗
