**Lovingly-crafted and brilliantly executed... the Highbury Trilogy is an outstanding companion and tribute to Jane Austen's Emma. Rich with comprehensive detail, thoughtful developments, and emotive prose. Austenesque Reviews.**
Treats Miss Austen's work respectfully and feels and reads as true to the time.
Treats Miss Austen's work respectfully and feels and reads as true to the time.
The characters we know from the original are not altered but merely expanded and it all feels like part of the story of Emma.
This isn't merely fan fiction but a credible contribution to the backstories of many favourite characters. Jane Bates has left Highbury to become the companion of the invalid widow Mrs Sealy in Brighton. Life in the new, fashionable seaside resort is exciting indeed. A wide circle of interesting acquaintance and a rich tapestry of new experiences make her new life all Jane had hoped for. While Jane's sister Hetty can be a tiresome conversationalist she proves to be a surprisingly good correspondent and Jane is kept minutely up-to-date with developments in Highbury, particularly the tragic news from Donwell Abbey. When the handsome Lieutenant Weston returns to Brighton Jane expects their attachment to pick up where it left off in Highbury the previous Christmas, but the determined Miss Louisa Churchill, newly arrived with her brother and sister-in-law from Enscombe in Yorkshire, seems to have a different plan in mind.
Next up, Dear Jane.
