Jane Austen wrote wonderful, witty, romantic satires...

Elly and Maren are both mourning the loss of their father...Elly, the sensible one, has thrown herself into finding a way to make money to pay all the debt the loss of the family business as brought along with the death of her father.
Maren is having a harder time moving on...
Her passion for life and art has withered as she sinks into a deeper depression.
Each will "encounter the madness and misadventures of love" as Elly falls for a man who can't commit and Maren finds relief from the depression in a passionate, but unstable boyfriend.
As they both move forward in trying to secure a brighter future they will learn that love and honor outweigh all else...
That the heart has a mind of it's own...
And that sometimes it takes a person with a little sense to help them learn the art of sensibility.
SO TREMENDOUSLY GREAT!
A MUST-READ!

Hallo, Hallo! :)
ReplyDeleteI finished reading this novel myself for the blog tour tonight, and I must say I agree with you about it being a 'must read'. I was curious what was your favourite part about the close bond Elly & Maren shared? What did you love the most about the story? You wrote an encouraging post about the novel, but I was left curious which aspects were your favourite. Cheers to celebrating an after canon release for Jane Austen!
You ask GREAT QUESTIONS!
DeleteNot sure I have the answers you are seeking :)
My blog posts are a little different from most...
1. I want my posts to be "short and sweet" as sometimes life gets to crazy busy to read lengthy reviews, so I want to get right at what the book is about, without too much else...therefore I purposely leave out a lot of what other bloggers put in.
2. I also read a little differently from other people. I bask in the experience of the whole book without breaking it apart...therefore my favorite part is the adventure of the complete story. I love how the authors weave in different aspects of the story that bind it all together so at the end I can say with a sigh...that was a great book!
I am grateful you stopped by and gave me a chance to ponder...and explain.
Please come see me again :)
