February 16, 2009: I have read many Austen sequels and the works by Amanda Grange are among my favorites. She stays true to the characters that Jane Austen created yet she manages to add new insight into the personality and actions of the characters that I had not encountered previously. Her sequels make find read for any Austen fan.
