From the translator: “Drive Your Plow... has lots of odd features that I felt important to retain in English. The title is a quotation from William Blake and, yes, that’s how he spelled the word “plough” in The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell in 1790.”

It’s the rare month when my StoryGraph is actually updated and has more than 3 covers so it doesn’t look so sad! 🤣

First time reading this one. I believe I only have one other Austen novel left unread after this, although I read Sense& Sensibility so long ago I barely remember any of it…
