Welcome to Litsy!

All her heroines find love in the end-but is there love waiting for Jane? Jane Austen spends her days writing and matchmaking in the small countryside village of Steventon, until a ball at Godmersham Park propels her into a new world where she yearns for a romance of her own. But whether her heart will settle on a young lawyer, a clever Reverend, a wealthy childhood friend, or a mysterious stranger is anyone's guess. Written in the style of Jane herself, this novel ponders the question faced by many devoted readers over the years-did she ever find love? Weaving fact with fiction, it re-imagines her life, using her own stories to fill in the gaps left by history and showing that all of us-to a greater or lesser degree-are head over heels for Jane.
