OverviewA thrilling literary mystery costarring Jane Austen from the New York Times bestselling author of The Bookman's Tale Charlie Lovett first delighted readers with his New York Times bestselling debut, The Bookman's Tale. Now, Lovett weaves another brilliantly imagined mystery, this time featuring one of English literature's most popular and beloved authors: Jane Austen. Book lover and Austen enthusiast Sophie Collingwood has recently taken a job at an antiquarian bookshop in London when two different customers request a copy of the same obscure book: the second edition of Little Book of Allegories by Richard Mansfield. Their queries draw Sophie into a mystery that will cast doubt on the trueauthorship of Pride and Prejudice--and ultimately threaten Sophie's life. In a dual narrative that alternates between Sophie's quest to uncover the truth--while choosing between two suitors--and a young Jane Austen's touching friendship with the aging cleric Richard Mansfield, Lovett weaves a romantic, suspenseful, and utterly compelling novel about love in all its forms and the joys of a life lived in books.Full Product DetailsAuthor: Charlie Lovett , Jayne EntwistlePublisher: Books on Tape Imprint: Books on Tape Dimensions: Width: 16.80cm , Height: 2.50cm , Length: 15.50cm Weight: 0.318kg ISBN: 9780553546576ISBN 10: 0553546570 Publication Date: 21 October 2014 Recommended Age: From 18 years Audience: General/trade , General Format: Audio Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
