Book Reviews

\"Hemingway\'s book ... (places) a very human Jane in a vibrant, turbulent England that is seeking new ideas but also fighting the Napoleonic Wars ... He captures the energy of the times while also writing with the irony and sly humor of Jane Austen herself, complete with the stylistic language of the Regency period ... This is truly a worthy addition to the Jane Austen legacy, a story sure to please all Austen fans.\"
