The marriage of Miss Jane Austen

the long version

Tradition holds that Jane Austen lived a proper, contemplative, unmarried life. But what if she wed a man as passionate and intelligent as she--and the marriage remained secret for 200 years? "The Marriage of Miss Jane Austen" is a trilogy that resolves the biggest mysteries of Austen's life, the "lost years" of her twenties--a period of which historians know virtually nothing. Critics call this historical fiction about England's most beloved author "an imaginative journey of the soul."
