How Jane Austen might have dealt with the dilemmas of families, friends and, above all, what she herself might feel about falling in love is skilfully and wittily explored. With a cast of new characters and a genuinely ‘Austen’ feel to it, this is a delightful and compelling story.
Young Jane - or Jenny, as she was known - is a girl with a head full of questions that no one seems able to answer. But the sudden arrival of her worldly-wise cousin, Eliza, to the parsonage in rural Hampshire brings Jenny some of the answers she is seeking and provides the germ of an idea.
