A lovely satire of the popular Gothic novel, Ms. Austen provides a charming romance, filled with fun nods to Mrs. Radcliffe's Mysteries of Udolpho. There are no shortages of rakes, rattles, avaricious families, romantic gentlemen, and refined and intelligent ladies.

Ms. Austen's wit and candor are so vivid and well displayed in this fun read. And it is just that, fun. So wonderful to see a lady of her time, writing something not designed to be grand or flattering, just intelligent wit and humor.
A must read for any true Austen fan, or those who enjoy a wonderfully well crafted period piece.
