The Jane Austen Society

For fans of Miss Austen, this book clearly hits the mark. But I've always been lukewarm about her works and this novel grew tiresome with its constant refrain about the awesomeness of Jane's assorted tomes; I chuckled appreciatively at Austen's relative saying she “preferred the Brontes”. The characters and setting are believable enough but the tale is slow-moving, rather like Austen's works.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher for review.
