Hello! My name is Jayne Bamber and it’s great to be back at My Jane Austen Book Club, to
talk about my new release, Outmatched, a fusion of Sense
& Sensibility and Mansfield Park – coming to Kindle May 8th.
I kicked off my blog tour at AustenAuthors by discussing the
first deviation from canon I entertain in the story: Maria Bertram’s rejection
of Mr. Rushworth when Sir Thomas returns from Antigua. Today I would like to
share a taste of the next twist to turn Mansfield Park upside down – Mrs.
Rushworth is not willing to take no for an answer. I can’t give The Big Secret
away, but I would like to share just a little bit of one of the most pivotal
moments in the story, which ultimately inveigles the cast of Sense &
Sensibility in the Bertram family fracas….
