Amusing and life-affirming novel from renowned Austen scholar, and novelist, for readers of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, A Man Called Ove, Saving Missy, includes interchanges with Jane Austen, and a Shelley twist. Celebrates how lives are made extraordinary through friendship, books, and new experiences -- at any age.
"A beautiful book - a true treat and giftTodd gives us an allusive dialogue of the living in vivid conversation with the illustrious dead. The voices of her learned, witty, aging twenty-first-century characters-like present-day Mrs. Dalloways going about their business in provocative daily routines-bring new life to the great authors of the past. This is a beautiful, moving novel of playful experimentation, gorgeous image, and brilliantly irreverent juxtaposition." Devoney Looser, Professor of English, Arizona State, author of The Making of Jane Austen.
