In the later years of her life, Jane Austen created a quilt. Acclaimed graphic novelist Kate Evans takes the fabrics of this patchwork coverlet and uses them to illustrate a beautiful, brilliantly immersive and compelling comic-book retelling of Jane Austen's life. Evans patchworks together the narrative from Austen's own words, seamlessly interweaving snippets from her letters and her stories, and tells her life story from the cradle to the grave, including riotously joyous comic excerpts of her novels.


Kate has immersed herself thoroughly in Austen's life and work and produced something groundbreaking. Bath Preservation Trust and Beckford's Tower are proud to host the launch of Patchwork, which will surely go on to be an immensely popular work.


Kate Evans is an award-winning writer, cartoonist, multimedia artist and public speaker. Her previous work includes the internationally acclaimed historical biography Red Rosa and graphic reportage Threads from the Refugee Crisis. Patchwork is her eighth work of graphic non-fiction.
