Jane Austen’s fans will love the book.

Jane’s reappearance in Highbury fuels Emma’s idle curiosity. Is parting from her friend the real reason for Jane’s despondency when Rachel marries and leaves for Ireland? Questions are answered and the truth revealed as we learn at last of Jane’s thoughts and reactions to the people and events that shape Highbury society – the ball at the Crown, strawberry picking at Donwell and the Box Hill picnic – all occasions which gave Emma ample opportunity to speculate further that Jane had been wronged in love. Remaining true to the original in spirit and style, „Jane Fairfax” is a brilliant companion volume to „Emma”.
