Teenage Jane Austen protects her cousin Eliza and considers a suitor of her own while investigating threats of French espionage in this clever melding of sound biographical research and fictional murder-mystery. Just as the best of Austen's heroines do, MacColl's version of the famed author flaunts acerbic wit leavened with a compassion for the plight of women. Author's note appended. Reading list.
