Anne's Review
4 STARS!!!
Based on Jane Austen’s novels—Emma, Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, and Northanger Abbey— these four novellas are
set in the late 1800s and their distinctive Austen flavor is quite palatable. The
authors connected the stories together by having the principle characters from
each previous novella mentioned in the next one. I found this to be a
delightful addition! The narratives are easily read and contain humorous
dialogue, as well as pleasantly descriptive settings.
Reading adaptations of classic novels isn’t something I
usually do—but I was intrigued by the premise of Austen in Austin—and I’m glad I did. I thoroughly enjoyed being
diverted from life’s cares for a couple of hours. I would definitely recommend
this collection to fans of Historical fiction. I accepted an electronic copy
from one of the authors in exchange for my review. No compensation has been
received.
~Happy Reading~
