Inspired by a patchwork quilt Jane Austen made, Kate Evans takes us through a “fictional account of factual events” of Jane Austen’s life. Throughout the graphic novel, it is clear that Evans is a massive fan of Jane Austen’s work and she has put a lot of time, effort, and research into this novel. While I love both Jane Austen and graphic novels, I did not enjoy this book. The art is interesting, although not my style. If you love Jane Austen and text heavy graphic novels, you may really enjoy this book. 3 stars, rounded up for the intriguing artwork.

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read Patchwork.

There are so many books written about Jane Austen that Kate Evans decided to show as well as tell the story of an author who is still inspiring people today even 250 years later. Evans does this with an engaging story told with not just words but art as well.
