Her characters have stayed relevant throughout the generations ensuring that the books have never been out of print The daughter of a clergyman, she was a member of the gentry and able to take part in the social whirl of the time. Although she had many suitors, she never married. Finding a husband proved impossible – due mainly to the fact that the family had no money. Jane was all too well aware of the problems faced by single women of her status in life, and her books reflect this admirably. Her love affair with James Lefoy, an Irish lawyer has been turned into a film: Becoming Jane. Her niece Fanny was told 'Anything is to be preferred or endured rather than marrying without Affection'. Her early death came just as she was becoming established as a writer.
