Writing Jane Austen by Elizabeth Aston
From the author of Mr. Darcy's Daughters comes "a witty, page-turning love letter to [Jane] Austen's work" (Publishers Weekly).Critically acclaimed and award-winning--but hardly bestselling--author Georgina Jackson can't get past the first chapter of her second book. When she receives an urgent email from her agent, Georgina is certain it's bad news. Shockingly, she's offered a commission to complete a newly discovered manuscript by a major nineteenth-century author. Skeptical at first about her ability to complete the manuscript, Georgina is horrified to know that the author in question is Jane Austen.
Torn between pushing through or fleeing home to America, Georgina relies on the support of her banker-turned-science student roommate, Henry, and his quirky teenage sister, Maud--a serious Jane Austen fan. With a sudden financial crisis looming, the only way Georgina can get by is to sign the hugely lucrative contract and finish the book.
Elizabeth Aston is a Jane Austen fan who went to Oxford to study with Austen biographer Lord David Cecil. Darcy's Daughters, The Exploits & Adventures of Miss Alethea Darcy, The Real Darcy Spirit, and The Second Mrs. Darcy are among her works. Darcy and The Darcy Connection are two books about Mr. Darcy. She splits her time between England and Italy.
