âMy feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.â If you just heaved a contented sigh at Mr. Darcyâs heartfelt words, then you, dear reader, are in good company. Here is a delightful collection of never-before-published stories inspired by Jane Austenâher novels, her life, her wit, her world.
In Lauren Willigâs âA Night at Northanger,â a young woman who doesnât believe in ghosts meets a familiar specter at the infamous abbey; Jane Odiweâs âWaitingâ captures the exquisite uncertainty of Persuasionâs Wentworth and Anne as they await her familyâs approval of their betrothal; Adriana Trigianiâs âLove and Best Wishes, Aunt Janeâ imagines a modern-day Austen giving her niece advice upon her engagement; in Diana Birchallâs âJane Austenâs Cat,â our beloved Jane tells her nieces âcat talesâ based on her novels; Laurie Viera Riglerâs âIntolerable Stupidityâ finds Mr. Darcy bringing charges against all the writers of Pride and Prejudice sequels, spin-offs, and retellings; in Janet Mullanyâs âJane Austen, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!â a teacher at an all-girls school invokes the Beatles to help her students understand Sense and Sensibility; and in Jo Beverleyâs âJane and the Mistletoe Kiss,â a widow doesnât believe sheâll have a second chance at love . . . until a Miss Austen suggests otherwise.
Regency or contemporary, romantic or fantastical, each of these marvelous stories reaffirms the incomparable influence of one of historyâs most cherished authors.
