Have you ever wondered about the hidden romance contained within Jane Austen's Emma? This literary retelling of Austen's classic novel focuses on the courtship and secret engagement of Jane Fairfax and Frank Churchill. How did two people of such evidently disparate temperaments fall in love? How was "the most upright female mind in the creation" persuaded to keep their engagement secret? What were the thoughts and feelings of each as events unfolded during that spring and summer in Highbury? Written with great fidelity to the original, Lovers' Perjuries fills in all the details of scenes only hinted at in Emma. It also introduces new characters in a substantial subplot inspired by Persuasion, but featuring a lively heroine more reminiscent of Elizabeth Bennet than Anne Elliot. NOTE: THIS IS THE COMPLETE TEXT IN ONE VOLUME.

01/18/2008: I bought this as a gift for my mom, who loves Jane Austen. She really enjoyed it, and I decided to borrow it. I'm not a big Emma fan, but this book brought that book to life for me. I want to go back and reread that book after finishing this one. Jane Fairfax and Frank Churchhill and intriguing characters from Emma, and I was happy to read this rendition of their engagement. I want to read the author's previous book about Anne de Bourgh too.
