Jane Austen discussion

Hello all!

I'm working on a new JAFF based on "Emma." Current word count is at approximately 60K (it still needs some fleshing out). All my books feature Jewish protagonists and this book follows suit :-)

Here is the WIP blurb:

Before beginning a new year at Mrs. Goddard’s School for Girls, Miss Harriet Smith will spend the summer months with the Martin family at Abbey-Mill Farm—a house of Israelites, or is it Hebrews? Would it be impolitic to call them Jews ? It matters not, for Harriet finds contentment there. And, if her heart betrays her with stronger feelings for Mr. Martin than she ought to have, they are hers alone.

Alone…a common enough phrase for the natural daughter of nobody knows whom. But when Miss Emma Woodhouse requires a new friend to guide and mold, Harriet suddenly finds herself in the midst of one imbroglio after another. Forbidden assignations, sentimental blunders, and questions abound!

Be it through gossip or vengeance—or small-minded people, “the instruments of darkness tell us truths.” Will Harriet remain encumbered to her mysterious past, or will astonishing discoveries provide the fulfillment she long desired?

If you are interested in being a beta-reader for "The Jews of Donwell Abbey," please let me know. I'm in need of free services, but will send you a free e-book once it's published.

Thank you! Mirta
