"Artfully written and engaging, Jane in Love is a lively effusion of wit and humor."--Graeme Simsion, New York Times bestselling author of The Rosie ProjectA charming, romantic debut novel inwhich Jane Austen, heralded author, ends up time-traveling almost 200 years inthe future. There she finds the love she's written about and the destiny she'sdreamed of...but is it worth her legacy?Bath, England, 1803. At 28, Jane Austen prefers walking and reading to balls and assemblies; she dreams of someday publishing her carefully crafted stories. Already on the shelf and in grave danger of becoming a spinster, Jane goes searching for a radical solution--and as a result, seemingly by accident, time-travels. She lands in...Bath, England, present day. The film set of Northanger Abbey.

And Jane--acquainting herself with the horseless steel carriages and seriously shocking fashion of the twenty-first century-- meets Sofia, a woman unlike anyone she's ever met before. Then she meets Fred, Sofia's brother, who has the audacity to be handsome, clever, and kind-hearted.What happens when Jane, against her better judgement, falls in love with Fred? And when Sofia learns the truth about her new friend Jane? And worst of all, if Jane stays with Fred, will she ever achieve her dream, the one she's now seen come true?
