label giveaway show all posts 03 december 2014 jane austen s first love by syrie james holiday blog tour and giveaway book description in the summer of 1791 fifteen year old miss jane austen is determined to accomplish three things to do something useful write something worthy and fall madly in love while visiting at goodnestone park in kent for a month of festivities in honor of her brother s engagement to miss elizabeth bridges jane meets the boy next door the wealthy worldly and devilishly handsome edward taylor heir to bifrons park and hopefully her heart like many of jane s future heroes and heroines she soon realizes that there are obstacles social financial and otherwise blocking her path to love and marriage one of them personified by her beautiful and sweet tempered rival charlotte payler unsure of her own budding romance but confident in her powers of observation jane distracts herself by attempting to maneuver the affections of three other young couples but when her well intentioned matchmaking efforts turn into blundering misalliance jane must choose between following her own happily ever after or repairing those relationships which based on erroneous first impressions she has misaligned in september 1796 jane austen wrote in a letter that she has passed by the estate of bifrons the abode of him on whom i once fondly doated him is edward taylor and syrie james has taken this mysterious nugget and spun a tale of fifteen year old jane austen and her first crush in 1791 seventeen year old edward taylor heir to bifrons makes a favorable impression on the young jane when he and his friend tom payler stop to rescue jane cassandra and their brother charles when their carriage becomes stuck in the mud edward is cosmopolitan cultured educated good natured and handsome all qualities perfectly designed to entrance an intelligent ambitious and sheltered young woman their paths cross frequently with all the fêtes balls and visits held in honor of jane s brother and his fiancée and her sister and that sister s fiancée who got unexpectedly engaged jane also sharpens her powers of observation and her tongue by observing the self aggrandizing unimaginative lady bridges and her daughters the gregarious sir brook various other neighbors and frustratingly miss charlotte payler tom payler s younger sister and jane s rival for edward taylor s affections syrie james effortlessly captures the sweetness of teenage crushes the uncertainty the wish to impress jealously and the sudden certainty that yes this person above all others is destined to be your one and only but readers know simply by the introduction to the novel that this teenage love is destined to be bittersweet jane herself tells us that she once was fond of edward taylor and james does a remarkable job giving the reader an engaging romantic plot while staying true to the biographical history of her very famous protagonist in addition to the marriage plot s janeites and sharp readers will delight in picking out lines scenes and characters that james has borrowed from austen s novels sir brook is an analogue to sir john middleton from sense and sensibility lady bridges is a bit like a more aware version of lady bertram from mansfield park jane horses around by climbing a high wall to impress edward taylor much like louisa does to impress captain wentworth in persuasion don t worry jane is quite all right she even suffers from a combination of elizabeth bennet s prejudicial first impressions and emma s blind but well meant match making these are lovely
