Description
Two researchers from the future, posing as wealthy West Indies planters, arrive in London in 1815. Disheveled and weighed down with hidden money, they are forced to travel by coach all night to reach their destination. Their mission is to meet, befriend, and steal from Jane Austen herself, a task that requires them to infiltrate her circle via her favorite brother, Henry. As they navigate the complexities of living a lie, the two colleagues, a doctor and a scholar, must also contend with the challenges of diagnosing Jane's fatal illness and recovering a suspected unpublished novel hinted at in her letters. Their friendship with Jane deepens, but their relationship with each other becomes increasingly complicated. In this engrossing debut novel, the legacy of Jane Austen is reimagined in a unique and captivating way.
