Enter the Goodreads giveaway for a chance to win Austen at Sea by Natalie Jenner! In 1865, Boston, Charlotte, and Henrietta Stevenson, daughters of a Massachusetts Supreme Court Justice, had achieved all that society permitted women of their time. Frustrated by these limitations, they find inspiration in Jane Austen's works and secretly begin corresponding with her last surviving brother, Sir Francis Austen, now in his nineties. He offers them a treasured letter from his sister and invites them to visit him in England.
Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, bachelor brothers Nicholas and Haslett Nelson—Civil War veterans and rare book dealers—also engage in correspondence with Sir Francis Austen. Enticed by the promise of an unprecedented Austen artifact, they too set their sights on England. Austen at Sea weaves a tale of ambition, discovery, and the enduring legacy of Jane Austen.
