"When one has read the six great Austen novels...and then reread and
then reread the six again, one's only recourse is the company of others
equally bereft. Cindy Jones's My Jane Austen Summer fills the gap with
a nourishing Austen-soaked setting, a wonderfully surprising plot, and
Lily, a delightfully peculiar heroine."
--Karen Joy Fowler, author of The Jane Austen Book Club
Author Cindy Jones has a gift for the millions of readers everywhere who
have been enchanted by Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and
the other wondrous works of the inimitable Austen--not to mention fans
of more contemporary delights such as The Jane Austen Book Club.
Jones's My Jane Austen Summer is a delightful, funny, poignant novel
in which a contemporary woman--an obsessed Austenphile--learns much
about life, love, and herself during one magical summer in England spent
re-enacting Jane Austen's Mansfield Park.
