"Artfully written and engaging, Jane in Love is a lively effusion of wit and humor."--Graeme Simsion, New York Times bestselling author of The Rosie Project
A charming, romantic debut novel in
which Jane Austen, heralded author, ends up time-traveling almost 200 years in
the future. There she finds the love she's written about and the destiny she's
dreamed of...but is it worth her legacy?
Bath, England, 1803. At 28, Jane Austen prefers walking and reading to
balls and assemblies; she dreams of someday publishing her carefully crafted
stories. Already on the shelf and in grave danger of becoming a spinster,
Jane goes searching for a radical solution--and as a result, seemingly by
accident, time-travels. She lands in...
England, present day. The film set of Northanger
Abbey. Sofia Wentworth is a Hollywood actress starring in a new period
film, an attempt to reinvent her flagging career and, secretly, an attempt to
reinvent her failing marriage. When Sofia meets Jane, she marvels at the
young actress who can't seem to "break character," even off set.
And Jane--acquainting herself with the horseless steel carriages and seriously
shocking fashion of the twenty-first century-- meets Sofia, a woman unlike
anyone she's ever met before. Then she meets Fred, Sofia's brother, who has
the audacity to be handsome, clever, and kind-hearted. What
happens when Jane, against her better judgement, falls in love with Fred? And
when Sofia learns the truth about her new friend Jane? And worst of all, if
Jane stays with Fred, will she ever achieve her dream, the one she's now seen
come true?
