The best-loved book by our best-loved novelist
Independent
The wit of Jane Austen has for partner the perfection of her taste
Virginia Woolf
Like Irvine Welsh, I am a great admirer of Jane Austen
Alexander McCall Smith
Another question I've been regularly asked over the past year is what models I had in mind when writing Curious Incident. Was it To Kill a Mockingbird? Was it Catcher in the Rye? In fact, the book most often in my mind was Pride and Prejudice
Mark Haddon
An incredibly funny, very upmarket love story with an enchanting heroine and the perfect romantic hero: a tartar with a heart of gold
Jilly Cooper

Kate Atkinson
For those of us who suspect all the mysteries of life are contained in the microcosm of the family, that personal relationships prefigure all else, the work of Jane Austen is the Rosetta Stone of literature
Anna Quindlen

Eudora Welty
That young lady has a talent for describing the involvements of feelings and characters of ordinary life which is to me the most wonderful I ever met with
Sir Walter Scott
The most perfect, the most characteristic, the most eminently quintessential of its author's works
George Saintsbury (1894)
Penguin Random House is proud to have twenty-four titles on the list this year.
