"Nobody comes close to Aiken to writing sequels to Jane Austen".--"Publishers Weekly".<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Jane Austen's <i>Emma </i>has been a favorite novel for Austenites since 1816. <p/>But while the story of its heroine Emma Woodhouse is well known, the same can't be said for her childhood friend, Jane Fairfax.
