"The most brilliant Austen-adjacent book on the market...Flynn's
style makes this a quick, fun read, and since the story is
Jane-related there's even a romantic subplot."
-- Vulture"Kathleen Flynn spins an entertaining story of time
travel, complicated romantic connections and Austenalia in her
debut novel, The Jane Austen Project...Witty, well-researched and
thought-provoking, Flynn's debut is a fun and unusual addition to
the canon of Austen tributes and pastiche." -- Shelf
Awareness"Written in an engaging Austen style, full of witty
dialogue, a secret engagement, and a delightful clan of loving
siblings" -- Booklist"What lover of literature hasn't dreamed of
going back in time to meet Jane Austen? In her debut novel,
Kathleen A. Flynn brings this dream to life, creating a vivid
portrait of Regency England in all its glory and squalor. Flynn
illuminates the stark contrasts between that era and our own, and
movingly depicts the heartbreak of those who might try to travel
between the two." -- Lauren Belfer, author of After the Fire and A
Fierce Radiance"The Jane Austen Project is clever, captivating, and
original. I loved it and couldn't put it down! It's been a long
time since I've been so engrossed in a novel, or lost so much sleep
reading it. Who wouldn't want to travel back in time and meet Jane
Austen? Flynn's depiction of Jane Austen is wonderful, exactly as I
imagine she must have been. The ending is a shocker and one of the
strengths of the novel. It presents a view of time travel--and
history--you won't soon forget. A keeper on my Austen shelf." --
Syrie James, author of Jane Austen's First Love"I loved The Jane
Austen Project. Brilliantly written and a must-read for any Jane
Austen fan!" -- Paula Byrne, author of The Real Jane Austen
