Second Impressions
“What if Jane Austen could continue the story ofPride and Prejudiceon our own bookshelves and iPads? That's the question Ava Farmer has asked, and answered by steeping herself in the mind, living places, readings, and sensibility of Austen for 26 years, then writing a sequel calledSecond Impressions. Each sentence is a model of humanity and humor.”  —Gloria Steinem“In this richly encyclopedic sequel to Jane Austen’s novels, Farmer draws on the author’s own lively idiom to show what kind of novelist she might have become.”  —Jocelyn Harris, professor emeritus, University of Otago
