Praise for the novels of Syrie James:
"A novel within a novel honoring what we love most about Austen: her engaging stories, her rapier wit, and her swoon worth romance...pitch perfect, brilliantly crafted."--Austenprose
"... richly imagined ...a page turner...A standout addition to the crowded archive of Austen homages."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"A literary feast for Anglophiles...[with] an Austen-worthy ending."--Publishers Weekly
"James expertly blends Austen archetypes--bumbling suitors, lady friends both silly and sympathetic, bemused fathers--with her own narrative wit...A sweet, enjoyable read for any Austen fan."--Shelf Awareness
"A magical book that readers will definitely store on their keeper shelf and read more than once."--RT Book Reviews
"Offers a deeper understanding of what Austen's life might have been like."--Los Angeles Times
"A beautiful, fictional what-if."--Austenprose
