The late Joan Aiken was a scholar and a prolific author of children's books and Jane Austen sequels and continuations. She is the author of Emma Watson which completes Jane Austen's posthumously published fragment The Watsons, and of Eliza's Daughter, a sequel to Sense and Sensibility.
Author and scholar Aiken (1924–2004), known for her Jane Austen continuations, has imagined a sequel to Mansfield Park that'll satisfy some Austen fans while enraging others. Heroine Fanny Brice has married her cousin Edmund Bertram and decamped for the family's Caribbean plantation, leaving her younger sister, Susan, behind to serve as Lady Bertram's companion at Mansfield Park. Less timid than her sister, but dismissed just the same by her finer relatives, Susan soon encounters the Crawfords, Henry and Mary, a diverting but amoral brother-and-sister pair who had nearly undone the proud Bertram family. Aiken's sympathetic vision of the Crawfords' fate, after their seduction of Fanny and her cousins, may strike a false note for Austen purists, but Aiken ably reproduces the author's traditional plot twists and social comedy, if not her fluid prose or biting satire.
