I am honored to share that a gorgeous new edition of Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park will feature a foreward written by ME! Even holding this in my hands feels like a dream. (If I am asleep, don’t wake me!) Austen’s novels have been an important part of my life and every reread and retelling is a fresh adventure. This First Impressions edition will be available March 13th, just in time for Jane Austen’s 250th birthday. 🎂
From the publisher:
With a foreword by Krystal Marquis, author of The Davenports and The Davenports: More Than This
When Fanny Price is taken in by wealthy relatives, she finds herself abused, overlooked and thoroughly unloved. Her only solace is her friendship with their youngest son, Edmund. But they are just friends. At least for now.
Soon, the arrival of Henry and Mary Crawford sets off a flurry of matchmaking and Fanny must decide who she loves and how they might all end up living happily-ever-after.
Fall head over heels for First Impressions, Puffin’s boldly designed new YA Jane Austen collection. Like all the best romcoms, Austen’s novels are full of meet-cutes, missed connections and drama; they are masterclasses in the lost arts of stolen glances and breath-taking gestures.
With a stunning modern design and forewords from leading YA romance authors, this eye-catching six-book series is an open invitation to escape the brutal nonchalance of modern dating and embrace your inner romantic.
