Miss Austen's Mistake

Jane Austen fans will find much to enjoy in Charles Swensen's clever take on Sense and Sensibility. In Miss Austen's Mistake the "real" Colonel Brandon--who is, incidentally, an actual friend of the "real" Miss Austen--reviews the novel's events from an entirely new perspective, one he claims is much closer to the truth. Fact or fiction? It's great fun and can leave heads spinning.
