Once again Tirzah Price is back to show us that Jane Austen rewrites and possible and worth our attention. Having read their previous work, Pride and Premeditation, earlier last year, my expectations were high and rightfully so. After the devastating loss of their father, what else are the three bright, head-strong, and independent young Dashwood sisters to do other than investigate his untimely death? Tirzah Price perfectly balances Regency Era politics with strong, stand-out characters who fit outside of the outlines society laid for them and I absolutely adore it.
