Joan Aiken is one of the best loved authors of the twentieth century, and has written over a hundred books for young readers and adults, including "A Necklace of Raindrops," "The Winter Sleepwalker and Other Stories," and "The Youngest Miss Ward. "
"Others may try, but nobody comes close to Aiken in writing sequels to Jane Austen" * Publishers Weekly *
"Fun to read, an affectionate tribute, and companion volume to the original, Joan Aiken's novel will intrigue and entertain" * Daily Mail *
"Here's a treat for the reader - Aiken's view of Jane Fairfax where the darker side of Regency life is reflected, and Emma is only a minor character - something that would have annoyed that self-important young lady. Great fun" * The Times *
"Jane Fairfax can't fail to charm and intrigue with its deft array of anticipations and explanations of what really went on" * Observer *
"The great achievement of the book is not to let the lovers find each other, but to have Jane and Emma learn they should have been friends" * New York Times *
