Title: Love and Freindship and Other Delusions

Publisher: Soundings
Genres: Fiction, Historical
Publisher's Summary:
Love and Freindship was written when Jane Austen was just 14. Now updated in this sparkling satire by Beth Andrews, the story follows Isabel and her daughter, Marianne, when they attend the theatre in Bury St Edmunds and encounter Isabels old friend, Laura Lindsay, who gives her journal to Marianne to read. It is a revelation to the younger woman as she reads of one hilarious, madcap romantic escapade after another. There is love at first sight, marriage the same day, the befriending of another young woman as romantic as Laura herself, exaggerated sentiment and complete disregard for the feelings of others. Havoc inevitably ensues.
This is Jane Austen retold but retaining her huge capacity for laughter and enjoyment of the absurd.
Members Reviews:
Charming and exactly in the spirit of the young Jane Austen
This book is absolutely charming, and it retains the spirit of Jane Austen in a way that more ambitious endeavours by star names completely lack. (I'm looking at you, P.D. James and Colleen McCullough!) Austen's writing, mature or juvenilia, has a brilliant mix of humour, kindness, and shrewdness: this lovely and ingenious pastiche re-creates most of it to such an extent that we are inclined to forgive small purplish lapses here and there. Love and Freindship and Other Delusions is a book one reads smiling throughout, a precious gift from Miss Beth Andrews in current times.
Hilarious! Try it, you'll love it!
This authorâs version of âLove and Freindshipâ is cleverly written. Itâs hilarious,scandalous and ânaughty but niceâ! I highly recommend this book, even to those who are not familiar with Jane Austen! Try it, you'll love it!
Fun to read
This is a beautifully written romp in Jane Austenâs style and very funny. Beth Andrews has a real mastery of this kind of writing. I hadnât read the original Austen but it didnât matter at all as itâs included at the end. The story is fun and runs along at a breathless speed. This author has written other regency detective stories which I've enjoyed.
