She also added complexities to her characters’ motivation and insights that sets the tale apart from Austen fan fiction.Īside from their love for Austen’s novels, the primary characters have another thing in common-pain and loss in one form or another. Natalie Jenner, in her first published novel, gave herself a difficult assignment: to write about pre- and post-World War II England, to incorporate history and knowledge of the customs of the time, place and setting, and to make the intricacies of estate law and wills understandable without bogging down the story’s pace. It is a perfect summer read that transported me to Chawton and to a different age and time. The tale is, in fact, a lovely story-a fairy tale-about a group of people who have very little in common except their love for Jane Austen’s novels.
