Murder at Mansfield Park [May]

By Lynn Shepherd
Published by Beautiful Books Ltd
ISBN 9781905636792
May 2010

Synopsis

Mansfield Park is the one Jane Austen novel over which fans and critics alike have speculated the most. Why was Austen so enamoured of her principal character, the timid Fanny Price? What was she trying to say about the movements of the times? Successful copywriter and academic Lynn Shepherd has decided to tackle these questions head-on in a hugely entertaining and respectful homage, Murder At Mansfield Park. Here we find a very different Fanny Price: forthright, ambitious, scheming and downright untrustworthy. What could possibly happen to a character like that? And how will the fortunes of the inhabitants of Mansfield Park and its environs be changed with the discovery of a dead body early one morning?
