Love this idea, Emma, and strikes me as very sound advice too! Makes you wonder if these great writers always followed the wisdom they show in their novels... Clare Carlisle's George Eliot's Double Life is excellent on the connection between her marriage plots and her own experiences.
Thank you Ann! I doubt they always did... Jane Austen's letters are not impervious to a little gossip. That book sounds brilliant, I'll check it out. I'll certainly be including George Eliot in my columns soon. Love your work too!

This column is a fantastic idea and I am here for it!
Thank you so much Ally! I appreciate it!
“Agony aunt column for nerds” - this is my dream job. Loving it and looking forward to more!
Thanks for your lovely comment Kerri! It’s my dream job too: armchair psychologist, professional book lover…
Why didn't I find this post before my years of relationship struggles?! (luckily I've been in a very good relationship for over a year now)
Thanks for your comment Lucy! Advice never comes at the right time, does it. I'm glad you're in a happy relationship now <3
