Later Days at Highbury Book

Joan Austen-Leigh is the great-great-grandniece of Jane Austen, and in this novel she attempts to recreate the world of Highbury, the village in Austen's novel Emma. Emma herself and Mr. Knightly (now happily married and ensconced in Donwell Abbey; Mr. Woodhouse is dead) are not, however, the main characters. Instead Ms. Austen-Leigh fleshes out the first novel's minor characters, chiefly Mrs. Goddard the schoolmistress, who had a non-speaking role in Emma. The world she describes is nonetheless undeniably Austenesque: matchmaking and breathless hopes of ensnaring eligible bachelors figure prominently, and there is much anticipation and maneuvering at dancing parties.Read More
