When aspiring writer, Sophie Elliot, receives the keys to the family townhouse in Bath, it's an invitation she can’t turn down, especially when she learns that she will be living next door to the house her favourite author, Jane Austen, lived in. But, the neglected house is harbouring more than the antiquated furniture and nesting mice, though initially Sophie tries to dismiss the haunting visions of a young girl. On discovering that an ancient glove belonging to her mysterious neighbour, Josh Strafford, will transport her back in time to Regency Bath, she questions her sanity, but Sophie is soon caught up in two dimensions, each reality as certain as the other. Torn between her life in the modern world, and that of her ancestor who befriends Jane Austen and her fascinating brother Charles, Sophie's story travels two hundred years across time, and back again, to unite this modern heroine with her own Captain Wentworth. Blending fact and fiction together the tale of Jane Austen’s own quest for happiness weaves alongside, creating a believable world of new possibilities for the inspiration behind the beloved novel, Persuasion.

ReplyDeleteCaptain Wentworth is one of my favorite (and way underappreciated, IMO) Austen heroes. He's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up on this book - I'm adding it to my TBR list!
I can't wait to get my paws on this! And Jane has had special permission to use the so-called Rice portrait for her cover - beautiful!

ReplyDeleteI love the time traveling twist in this one. I've always wished I could go back and meet Jane Austen.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new book. Sounds like a fun read. I have yet to venture out of P&P FF, but keep meaning to try reading Persuasion FF and this might be the story that gets me out of my D&E obcession.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of blending the present with the world of 200 years ago. That should be fun.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this giveay! Catching up on several days posts, because I'm behind :(
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the lovely comments and thank you to Misty for hosting this - I hope you'll enjoy the book!

ReplyDeleteWoW!
ReplyDeletePersuasion is my favourite Austen novel + Jane Odiwe is one of my favourite writers of Austen Inspired Novels, so it sounds quite delightful!
Captain Wentworth is my favorite male character ever. Thank you so much for the giveaway. I can't wait to read this!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great read. Persuasion is my favorite book.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! I love Jane Odiwe.

ReplyDeleteLove the Rice picture on the cover! Loved Willoughby's Return(card carrying member of Team Marianne!).
ReplyDeleteAwwwesssomme!
ReplyDeleteI love Jane's other books. I have all but one I believe. This sounds like a departure from the usual - being time travel. I'd love to read it. I think Ms. Odiwe's style of writing will make any book she writes in very good taste.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like such a cool idea! It seems like it would be super interesting to read.
ReplyDeleteAside from P&P... Persuasion & Sense & Sensibility are my top favorites - Love these varying adaptations!

ReplyDeleteA combination of Persuasion and time travel? Yes, please!

Jane,
ReplyDeleteI would love to have one of your books!!!! Thanks for the giveaway. I have a page on facebook www.facebook.com/allthingsjaneausten and I have an album just with JAFF books but I like to read them first before posting them so this is a great opportunity for me!!!! Thanks, again!
This looks awesome! Persuasion is probably my favorite Jane novel and the synopsis sounds like lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful...time-travel and Capt Wentworth...two of my favourite things....
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win...
have all of Miss Odiwes works...
she is brillant....
I love Persuasion and I love time travel books. So I can't imagine what could be better than putting them together in a book. I am so looking forward to this book! Jane Odiwe is just an amazing writer. So this is going on my list of must haves.
ReplyDeleteI just had to say that the excerpt totally draws one in. How can one not want to read what comes next? Poor girl...I could totally picture the dust etc. Maybe it's my house :) I'd love to see that bed as well. It sounds gorgeous and cozy - something to keep in the warmth, keep out the drafts and the light. (Once she gets the dust out and can breathe of course)
ReplyDeleteI would like to thank you for an a fantastic book giveaway, that i would love to have the oportunity of reading and reviewing! I am a huge Jane Austen fan & love Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion, hence this sounds amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you x
