This is a historical fiction series that tells us the fictional story of Jane Austen's life and marriage. Of course any Austenite knows that Jane never married in real life - she was engaged for one night - but then called it off. But ahhhh wait - this book also considers that as well! For Ashton's hopes of marrying Jane in round 1 are dashed and so he runs off. But of course this is a book about a marriage, so we are left to figure out whether he will come back and marry Jane or whether she wil...
I loved this trilogy, imagining an alternative life for Jane.
In this second volume, we experience the first two years of marriage with Jane and Ashton Dennis. As with the first volume, it is beautifully written and researched, encompassing many of the political and historical events of the day. We get to see both Jane and Ashton's adjustments to married life and their insecurities...more so Jane in this respect. "You can live, or you can write. You can't do both."I enjoyed Volume II but not with the same fervor I did Volume I. We get an in-depth view of t...
Last year I enjoyed reviewing The Marriage of Miss Jane Austen. That novel, the first in a series, details Jane Austen's courtship by Ashton Dennis. This novel picks up as Jane and Ashton have married, and she finds her life suddenly changed as she helps oversee his large estate -- and discovers she is pregnant with her first child. One of the things I enjoyed most about the first novel was a delight here as well. Collins Hemingway captures the tone of Jane Austen's books and her use of language...
This book starts in 1805 just after Jane has married and taken over the responsibilities of a large household from her mother-in-law who still lives there. It carries on to 1807. In this time they have had their first child. This book covers family life, finding business investments, friends, the war and slaves.I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.
Review to come :)
In myreview of Volume I, I talked a lot about how in these novels, the reader gets to experience an alternate reality where Jane Austen finds love. In this installment, Jane navigates love, marriage, and pregnancy. The most amazing part of these books to me isn't the alternate version of history, but rather, the female realties explored with such startlingly clarity - especially by a man.It is one thing for a male author to correctly explain the feelings of a sex scene. Though women experience i...
Today at Just Jane 1813 I have a review and giveaway of Volume 2 of Collins Hemingway's trilogy, "The Marriage of Miss Jane Austen http://justjane1813.com/2016/09/12/th... …
I fell in love. I felt excited. I was transported. The writing was fantastic. The development of the characters was excellent. The missing pieces of Miss Jane Austen's life was like a piece of realism. There was the culture and the scene setting of the 19th century that made you feel like you were right there as it all took place. I loved this world created for Miss Jane Austen. I loved that she found a love that was hers and a family to call her own. There was a whole world for her to have adve...
I read The Marriage of Miss Jane Austen: Volume I in December of 2018. I absolutely adored it. Hemingway could have stopped with just that one volume. Volume One ended well. It ended as Austen novels usually do, with a happily ever after sort of feeling. So why go further? I guess he knew that his readers would want more. Because there's always more to the story. Life doesn't stop after the wedding. That's where life becomes interesting and complicated. I'm so glad Hemingway decided to take his
*I received a copy of this book for review purposes; all opinions expressed in this review are my own honest thoughts.*After reading the first novel in this series, I was excited to continue and picked up the second within moments of finishing. I’ve always loved a good “what if?” when it comes to little-known aspects of history, especially those I’ve been able to study. Jane Austen has been one of my favourite authors since elementary school and I’ve absolutely loved watching her come alive on t...
