I admit to being very wary about sequels/prequels/companions/what-have-you to Jane Austen, but had high hopes for this when I randomly came across is - I love Joan Aiken's children's books (kaaaaaaark!!), so know she's a good writer. This little book didn't disappoint! It's written in a style that's close to and respectful of Austen's language. I also have to admit that despite my love for it, Emma is probably the Austen novel I've read the fewest times, and my main exposure to the plot is from the Paltrow movie version, which I love, much to the chagrin of many ;) Anyway, I always wondered if there were more to Jane Fairfax than we saw, and especially more to her secret engagement to Frank Churchill - Aiken does a delightful job showing us that, yup, there's much more to all of that. I definitely recommend this book to any Austen fan - I don't think it will disappoint.
