[3.5 stars] A fascinating scenario, Jane Austen is sent forward through time to find a marriage partner. An enjoyable read. For instance Jane (may I call you Jane?) trying to negotiate the tube in latter day London was equal parts harrowing and hilarious (haven't we all been there?). On the downside, I thought a subplot involving the hint of a romance between another character and a librarian to be distracting, annoying even. It felt a little too contrived. Otherwise a page-turner.
