In the moving conclusion to "The Marriage of Miss Jane Austen," Jane and her husband struggle with the serious illness of their son, confront a bitter relationship with the aristocratic family who were once their friends and face the horrific prospect of war when the British Army falters on the continent. The momentous events of the Napoleonic wars and the agonizing trials of their personal lives take Jane and Ashton to a decision that will decide their fate—and her future—once and for all.
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 Review
Immensely 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
My thoughts:
This is the third book in the series and since I haven't read the first two, it didn't deter me from enjoying this imaginative account of Jane and Ashton's marriage. We know that Jane did not marry but it was a interesting to read how her life may have been with a husband and sick child to contend with.
The writing was descriptive, the storyline was interesting and compelled me to imagine a marriage of Jane Austen. Honestly, I often imagine the characters, the time period and the experiences in much of what I read. After awhile, I could believe that most of what I was reading could be true which is sure sign, Mr. Hemingway is an incredible author.
