It's often hard for me to find a Christian fiction book that isn't ridiculous. It's also often hard for me to find a Jane Austen fan fiction that isn't ridiculous. I was pleasantly surprised that this Jane Austen fan fiction, written and published from a faith-based source, is refreshingly good! Just Jane is a lovely biographical fiction story that follows Jane Austen from her first few lines of Pride and Prejudice, written in Steventon in early days, through to her beginnings of Emma, begun in Chawton, just a short time before she passes away in Winchester. For the most part, the story follows her life well and the imagined bits are quite believable. Other than a couple distractions, (like her using the term "eggplant" when the British say, "aubergine", or her literary-minded line about semi-colons when Austen was known for dashes and actually had to be heavily edited to correct her bad punctuation) I felt the story flowed smoothly and enjoyably. I love reading about places that are familiar to me, so once the Austens left Steventon, I enjoyed imagining their dwellings in Bath and Chawton---both places I've visited on many occasions. I also learned a couple neat things---like the "three dips" the ladies took in the ocean, aided by a "dipper". How funny and strange! There truly can never be enough WELL WRITTEN Austen adaptations! ( ) Jane Austen of course is legend to us today. Although I have heard some historical discrepancies from one or two things in this novel of her life, I really see this as a depiction that is the most true to how I see Jane's life. [author: Nancy Moser] did a wonderful job bringing the light of Jane to a realistic picture for me and I could imagine every scene of her story. At first I was reading on a depressed note, thinking of the Jane movies I have seen recently just knowing that it will end with her death. At the end of the novel I was quite pleased with the way that Nancy arranged things. I believe this is the way that things should be. Jane should be missed surely, but not pitied. She would not want that I think. But I do believe she claps for joy each time someone else on our earth discovers the words that she has left to share with us all.

Jane Austen lives simply in the English countryside with her beloved family, entertaining them with her stories and seeking romance. She never ventures far from her own corner of the world and struggles to find her place in it. Growing up in a clergyman's home gives Jane opportunities to observe human nature at its best--and worst. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
