Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature of the Breaking the Spine blog. It's a great way to share information about
forthcoming books with other readers. Today I'm featuring the new
novel from Charlie Lovett, author of The Bookman's Tale.
Publisher: Viking Adult
Publication Date: October 16, 2014
From barnesandnoble.com: Charlie Lovett first delighted readers with his New York Times bestselling debut, The Bookman’s Tale.
Now, Lovett weaves another brilliantly imagined mystery, this time
featuring one of English literature’s most popular and beloved authors:
Jane Austen.
Book lover and Austen enthusiast
Sophie Collingwood has recently taken a job at an antiquarian bookshop
in London when two different customers request a copy of the same
obscure book: the second edition of Little Book of Allegories by Richard Mansfield. Their queries draw Sophie into a mystery that will cast doubt on the true authorship of Pride and Prejudice—and ultimately threaten Sophie’s life.
In a dual narrative that
alternates between Sophie’s quest to uncover the truth—while choosing
between two suitors—and a young Jane Austen’s touching friendship with
the aging cleric Richard Mansfield, Lovett weaves a romantic,
suspenseful, and utterly compelling novel about love in all its forms
and the joys of a life lived in books.
