Jane and Dorothy by Marian Veevers
Jane Austen and Dorothy Wordsworth were born just four years apart, in the 1770s. Jane and Dorothy compares their upbringing and education, home lives and loves and, above all, their emotional and creative worlds.‘'An unusual but interesting account'’
-- John Van der Kiste, The Bookbag‘'Veevers’s writing flows effortlessly and sustains interest by moving back and forth between the two women. Most commendable is the way she depicts the insecure and sometimes demeaning reality of their lives—leaving readers to question what more these individuals might have produced in a society less weighted against them.'’
* Publishers Weekly *‘'a fresh and richly credible Jane and Dorothy whose complicated characters and situations run parallel yet never meet.'’
