<p><b>Jane Austen gave life to the fictional Watson family in 1803, but sadly abandoned them five chapters in. Acclaimed author Joan Aiken completes their story in her ingenious novel, <i>Emma Watson.</i></b><br><br>Emma Watson has been brought up by her aunt in a wealthy and refined household, an educated lifestyle far removed from her widowed father and five siblings. So when her aunt enters into an imprudent second marriage, nineteen-year-old Emma is sent back home &ndash; and must join her sisters in their pursuit of a husband . . .<br><br><b>Aiken, author of <i>The Wolves of Willoughby Chase</i>, takes on the fate of Austen&rsquo;s characters with confidence and skill, flawlessly entwining themes of loss and love together in this stunning regency pastiche.</b><br><br><b>&lsquo;</b><b>Joan Aiken</b><b>&rsquo;</b><b>s invention seemed inexhaustible, her high spirits a blessing, her sheer storytelling zest a phenomenon. She was a literary treasure, and her books will continue to delight for many years to come</b><b>&rsquo; &ndash;</b><b> Philip Pullman</b></p>
