Paula Byrne Six Weeks by the Sea review en recensie

  • “The theatrical zest of the narrative, which is a tie-in with a movie of the same name, holds it all together.” (The Times)
  • “Brilliantly illuminating … riveting. By focusing, chapter by chapter, on one thread or another of Austen’s experience, Byrne allows us to grasp the richness of her inner life.” (Guardian)
  • “Engaging, compelling, a delightful and engrossing book. Of course we all know that the “real” Jane Austen will forever be a mystery, but most 21st century Janeites will adore this one. Byrne’s passion is nothing if not persuasive.” (Sunday Times)

Flaptekst van de roman van Paula Byrne over Jane Austen

Summer 1801. Sidmouth, England.

The Austen Family descends upon a fashionable Georgian seaside resort in Devonshire for a six-week holiday. Jane’s brother, Frank, is on leave from the Royal Navy, and dearly wishes to unite his sister with his friend Captain Peter Parker. But another holidaymaker, a handsome stranger, catches sight of Jane and is determined to make her acquaintance. This rival to Captain Parker is Samuel Rose: a lawyer, literary man and abolitionist. As the weeks pass, Jane’s relationship with both men brings about unexpected surprises. By the end of the summer, the course of her life will have changed forever.

Set against the backdrop of Austen’s family, the tensions of the war against France, and naval and colonial politics, Six Weeks by the Sea is the fascinating story of how the most famous romance writer of all time fell in love for the first time.
