Today I’m happy to be welcoming a previous visitor and a new visitor all in one post! Sisters Sophie and Charlotte Andrews have written Be Your Own Heroine, which has the sub heading of learning the life lessons from heroines in literature, including Pride & Prejudice's Elizabeth Bennet. Sophie Andrews has visited Babblings of a Bookworm before, with her book Be More Jane, but her sister Charlotte is a first time visitor and I welcome them both. The publisher, CICO books, is also offering a giveaway of a physical copy to a UK or US address!
Let’s begin by looking at the blurb.
Book Description
Having
brought you the wisdom of Austen in Be More Jane, eager reader
Sophie Andrews joins forces with her sister Charlotte and turns her attention
to what can be learned from the heroines of other stories from past and
present. Whatever your taste in authors, there will be strong female characters
you can relate to, from Jo March, the tiger-sister in Little Women,
to Eleanor Oliphant, the socially bemused heroine of Gail Honeyman's
prize-winning first novel. There are spirited young women such as Elizabeth
Bennet in Pride and Prejudice, and Hermione Granger in the Harry
Potter series; and then there are the survivors – July in The Long Song and
Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games. Sophie and Charlotte show how
these six inspirational young women can inspire you and guide you through
life's challenges. Whether you are faced with hard times at home, in love, or
at work, these characters have something to teach you.
