An interesting new review for A JANE AUSTEN DAYDREAM has appeared on The Jane Austen Centre.
In many ways it is “real-time” review (here) as a very well-read Austenite goes through the book almost chapter by chapter (she even calls me cheeky!). A lot of the clash of history versus fiction in the book is discussed and for her as an Austenite it was a little distracting seeing the very intentional differences (which to me is understandable, since I’m dipping into new fictional territory here, re-imagining a life as something very new), but the end says it is a “a classic read with a humourous touch, well done!”
Please be aware! There are a A LOT OF SPOILERS in the review, including the big twist in the book.
–So read this at your own warning!–
