Description:
Condition: 'Very Good' Notes: Some light shelfwear. Gift inscription to ffep. Seller Inventory # 9859831
Synopsis:
A collection of correspondence between an eighteen year old student with green spiky hair and her aunt Fay, in which they discuss the merits of reading Jane Austen. First published in 1985.
From School Library Journal:
YA In this "epistolary novel," Weldon, like Jane Austen, writes letters to a niece (in Weldon's case, imaginary) about literature and writing. In addition, "Aunt" Fay writes about the life and works of Jane Austen and about her own thoughts concerning Austen and the times in which she lived. Through her letters, readers find Alice struggling with her own novel; unhappy at school, where she must read Austen; quarreling with parents; having a love affair; and living a modern life with her green spiky hair. Those who especially enjoy Austen and/or those interested in writing and in literature will find this book well-written, intruiging and witty. A special book for a limited audience. Susan Levine, PGCMLS, Md.
