Reviews
‘A deliberate homage to Jane Austen succeeds in being intelligent and beguiling.’ Sunday Times
‘Like Jane Austen's original this sparkly, highly readable re-framing has interiors, wicked stepmothers, lashings of escapism and a heartfelt portrait of sisterhood, daughterhood and motherhood that will strike a chord with women everywhere.’ The Times
‘Schine tells the story with such tenderness and wit.’ Buzz magazine
