Jane AUSTEN : The Watsons


Left impoverished upon the death of her aunt, Emma Watson has no option but to be reunited with her estranged father and siblings. Initially delighted with her new life—including the fashionable society balls to which she now has access—Emma soon realizes that her family harbors many ill feelings, not least those springing from the sisters' hopes—and disappointments—in snaring a husband. So when the eligible and suitably rich Tom Musgrove begins to transfer his affections from her sister Margaret to Emma, the result can only be further sibling rivalry and unrest.


3.5 stars may not seem much, but it's pretty good for an unfinished novel. Sadly, Jane Austen died before she could complete it...  And I'm really sad about it, no kidding, because I really, really enjoyed the beginning and would have loved to read it entirely ! Well, I wasn't entirely left hanging, because Jane's brother recounted how it would turn out, but still, too bad...
