Nancy Butler is the award-winning author of 12 Signet Regencies and 3 novellas.
Winner of the 1998 Golden Leaf Award for Best First Novel and two Rita Awards.
This graphic-novel version of the story of two sisters who live at different ends of the intellectual and emotional spectrum is a success both in its claim to merely adapting Austen and in the visual and narrative apertures it gives new readers of her nineteenth-century prose. The story unfolds almost entirely in dialogue (whereas Austens original was carried largely by letters exchanged), and Liews artwork is fully colored in soft and luminescent period hues, and his figures have a nearly bobble-headed tininess that makes them a welcome fit in antique parlors. Butlers introduction is wise, and the storys vocabulary and syntax are gently updated to make for smooth reading by those unfamiliar with Austen. The genteel poverty, the romance, and the family affairs remain authentic and vivid, with a subtle glaze of humor in the characters thought balloons and expressive faces. Grades 9-12. --Francisca Goldsmith
