First Impressions: A Novel of Old Books, Unexpected Love, and Jane Austen
of Charlie Lovett (Goodreads Author)
Description
A thrilling literary mystery co-starring Jane Austen from the New York Times bestselling author of The Bookmanâs Tale Charlie Lovett first delighted readers with his New York Times bestselling debut, The Bookmanâs Tale. Now, Lovett weaves another brilliantly imagined mystery featuring one of English literatureâs most popular and beloved authors: Jane Austen. Book lover and Austen enthusiast Sophie Collingwood has recently taken a job at an antiquarian bookshop in London when two different customers request a copy of the same obscure book: the second edition of Little Book of Allegories by Richard Mansfield. Their queries draw Sophie into a mystery that will cast doubt on the true authorship of Pride and Prejudiceâand ultimately threaten Sophieâs life. In a dual narrative that alternates between Sophieâs quest to uncover the truthâwhile choosing between two suitorsâand a young Jane Austenâs touching friendship with the aging cleric Richard Mansfield, Lovett weaves a romantic, suspenseful, and utterly compelling novel about love in all its forms and the joys of a life lived in books.
