More Austen

As an Austen fan, I thoroughly enjoyed 'The Watsons'. I must confess that I am completely biased here since I've always liked Austen's work. The novel, or novelette, was never finished, but there is a short explanation of what was going to happen later on had Austen lived to complete it. Apparently, she talked about the plot and how she intended to finish the book with her nieces and family. It has been so long since I picked up a classic to read and I have really missed that era - the language, the countryside, the balls, the people. This book has definitely rekindled my passion for classics and I am certainly going to include more of them in my diet. I recommend this book to all austen loving creatures out there

A lovely little Novella

Jane Austen just can't disappoint. What a treat to come across this little treasure. I loved it.

Splendid completion by Coates

Just when you thought there were no more Jane Austin works to read, this splendid book appeared, dog-eared in a used paperback (!) format. Well worth the search. A fourth sister is reunited with her three impoverished sisters, all in need of husbands - each sister is distinctly drawn, as, to a slightly lesser degree, are their swains. If you can forgive the presumption of Mr. Coates, you will welcome his ready wit and eye for detail. There is as always, a sister who is correct and sensible and striving to be well-behaved, but it is the encounters of the badly-behaved sisters which are truly enjoyable. Better than the (also good) completion of Sanditon, by "another lady."
