Sabine Durrant, bestselling author of Lie with Me 'Has all the wit and wisdom of a Jane Austen novel' Red ----------------- 1820. Mary Dorothea is living under the sole charge of her widowed father, Sir Edward, a man of strict principles and high moral values. But when Sir Edward marries Miss Fanny Knight of Godmersham Park, Mary's life is suddenly changed. Mary's new stepmother, Fanny, comes from a large, happy and sociable family, and Fanny's brothers are amusing, handsome and completely charming. One brother is particularly attentive and, as Mary approaches her seventeenth birthday, a bond forms between them that leads, on the last day of the year 1825, to a proposal of marriage. Sir Edward's outrage is immediate, his refusal absolute. The union will never take place. There appears to be only one solution . . . ----------------- Praise for The Elopement: 'Hornby's Austen books are funny, bittersweet family sagas, impeccably researched and lavishly imagined' The Times 'Tremendous' Nigella Lawson 'Has all Austen's wit and unnerving powers of observation with an extra twenty-first century zap' Ferdinand Mount, prize-winning author of Big Ceasars and Little Caesars 'Few writers are as perspicacious or half as delightful as Hornby' Karen Joy Fowler, international bestselling author of The Jane Austen Book Club 'A captivating return to the world of the Austens' Woman & Home 'Combines meticulous period research with a fine feeling for the characters' inner lives, hopes and fears' Daily Mail Readers are loving The Elopement: 'I was hooked from the first page' 5-star reader review 'I loved every minute of this novel' 5-star reader review 'One of the best books I've read this year.
