Giveaway: Lady Vernon and Her Daughter, by Jane Rubino and Caitlen Rubino-Bradway

Lady Vernon and Her Daughter, by Jane Rubino and Caitlen Rubino-Bradway
Adult, 2009

In a fleshed-out interpretation of Jane Austen's Lady Susan, this mother and daughter teamed up to create this pleasant addition to any Austen collection. When Lady Vernon and her daughter are left penniless after her husband's death, they confront his brother who had promised to take care of them financially. Plagued by gossip and rumors, and worried about their futures, it's up to the witty Lady Vernon and her daughter Fredericka to take matters into their own hands.
Raspberry: I was pleasantly surprised by this novel, and agree with my mother who said that 'It ought to be made into a movie'. The language and history seems authentic and very Austenian in its style. The characters are complexly connected, and perhaps the plot is slightly too intricate for that time period, but it makes for a charming story with just a touch of mystery. The romance is sweetly funny, and while it ends perfectly as only a fairy-tale can, you close the book in great satisfaction.
Graded a B+.
