"There
is no enjoyment like reading!"
— Northanger Abbey
One of the greatest joys of Jane Austen's enduring legacy is seeing how
each generation of writers finds fresh and imaginative ways to revisit her
beloved stories. Some remain close to the original, while others dare to ask, What
if...?
Today, I am delighted to welcome historical novelist Amy George—to My
Jane Austen Book Club.
Her latest novel, His Dark Heart, takes readers into a world where Pride
and Prejudice meets fantasy. In this magical reimagining, Lord Darcy is a
prince who uses another’s
powers to manipulate fate
itself—but, as every lover of fantasy knows, magic always comes at a price.
I invited Amy to tell us more about the inspiration behind this unusual
Austenesque variation, her love of Jane Austen, and the challenges and delights
of blending romance with fantasy.
Please join me in giving Amy a warm My Jane Austen Book Club welcome!
