Elsa Solender, former JASNA president, is the author of a new Jane Austen-related book, Jane Austen in Love: An Entertainment. The book is currently available as an Amazon Kindle e-book. Here is a description of the book from the JASNA Vermont region's site:
"Solender’s sub-title of “An Entertainment” clearly states what this book is about – a fanciful confection of Jane Austen in love, where we are given a birds-eye view of episodes in her childhood, intimate moments with her sister, her family, and friends; an imaginary take on her feelings for Tom Lefroy; her 1-day engagement to Harris Bigg-Wither; and the fateful meeting with the rumored and wished-for ‘Gentleman suitor of the seaside’ – part real, part imaginary, and part straight from Austen’s own fiction, all beautifully woven together into this tribute to love in the life of Jane Austen."
There is an extensive interview with Solender on the JASNA Vermont region's site, plus an opportunity to enter a drawing to win a free download of the e-book. If you don't have a Kindle, then the winner will be sent a print copy of Chawton House Library's Dancing with Mr. Darcy.
The deadline to enter the giveaway is 11:59 pm, Sunday, March 4, 2012. Worldwide eligibility!
