Book Synopsis
A revealing account of a naval officer's young wife, her life during the Napoleonic Wars, and her influence on Jane Austen's fiction.

Trade Review
"Jane Austen's Transatlantic Sister draws an exciting new portrait of a relatively unsung heroine. Kindred successfully weaves together factual material from a range of sources, revealing the rigours and rewards of Charles Austen's experiences as a naval officer combined with his wife's fears for his survival, pride in his achievements, and constant anxiety regarding finance and family status. This is a compelling approach to Fanny Austen's life and the first extensive study to focus on a man's naval career from a woman's perspective." Hazel Jones, author of Jane Austen and Marriage
