Skates the line between skillfully wrought academic argument and the sort of accessible, gripping romp one might expect from an author whose roller derby moniker was Stone Cold Jane Austen ...

Jam-packed with enough hair-raising drama from Austen’s personal life that even the Austen-phobic will find themselves hard-pressed to look away ... Will thrill any Austen fan with its revelation of a rebellious and wonderfully wicked Jane.
