Praise for the Marriage of Miss Jane Austen
Hemingway again displays his notable ability to recreate time and place, moving on from the heady days of Jane Austen’s early love to a marriage beset by difficulties and a country at war. Hemingway … vividly and authentically portrays the times. … [T]his is a lively, compelling read, [a] sobering but moving finale to Hemingway’s successful trilogy. —BlueInk ReviewImmensely satisfying … Marriage is lively, compelling, and fun. … [Her] relationship with her husband Ashton still sparkles. Marriage is a lovely ode to their connection. … Hemingway has combined Austen’s humanity with her fiction and created a Jane that lives and breathes on the page. Audiences will want her to be real… It offers a wonderful, imagined alternate life for the well-loved author. —Claire Foster, Foreword Review
‘Enjoyable … an imaginative, well-researched series.’ —Kirkus Reviews
Review
So, I have to admit, I was drawn to this series because I was interested in (and mildly concerned) on how a male author would rework Jane Austen’s life and marry her off. Austen is one of my favorites, and I love her choice of nor marrying in a time period where that is what was expected of women. Therefore, a book series on the what ifs of if Austen HAD married had me a bit nervous and bit excited.
So wariness aside, the first book immediately hooked me! The writing is just so good and it’s so reminiscent of Austen’s works! The story was also really exciting. I found myself overly enjoying the “what if” of Austen marrying and finding love. I love that she remained so feisty throughout the story and it truly felt like I was reading about a heroine she would be proud of.
Now onto the second book, what I really love about this series is that it keeps to the times. My favorite regency books are ones that also focus on the events of the time period. I love the romance that is often in these stories, but I also love getting a peek into the world of that time period. I feel like everyone always just expects balls and romance from regency books, but there was a lot happening in this time period! And Hemingway definitely delivers a well rounded story!
Third and final book and I don’t want this series to end! I love how Hemingway took what little was known about Austen in this time period of her life and worked these details into the story. The drama picks up a bit in this final installment, and the story really comes to a heartbreaking full circle.
For all the Austenites out there, I highly recommend this series! Don’t let wariness or “fear” of the subject keep you from reading it. The series was expertly done and I grew fond of the new take on Austen’s life.
