Review: Pemberley Manor by Kathryn Nelson

by Keira 03.16.2011

If you’re looking for an Austen sequel that combines the characters’ original flaws of pride and prejudice I would highly recommend reading Pemberley Manor.

by Keira 11.13.2009

Keira: Which is your favorite Jane Austen novel and why? Jane: Persuasion is my favourite Austen novel. There are lots of reasons why I love it – the characters are fabulous, the theme of love being lost and found is timeless, and Jane Austen’s writing is at her best, I think. Keira: How do you [...]
