The Jane Austen Project: A Novel by Kathleen A. Flynn Published: 5/2/2017
The Austen fan genre is expanded by an original new novel set both in the past and the near future. Two employees of a time travel
company are assigned to go back to Austen’s day, ostensibly to retrieve the full copy of “The Watsons,” lost for all time…until now. The
blending of historical fiction, fantasy, and romance with a beloved classic author thrown in the mix is a daring combination which
succeeds.
