- Catherine Anne Hubback, née Austen, was a daughter of Sir Francis Austen and his first wife Mary, and a niece of Jane Austen. She began writing to support herself and her three children after her husband John Hubback, a barrister, was committed to an asylum. In 1850, she published The Younger Sister, a completion of Jane Austen's unfinished work The Watsons. Over the next 13, she completed 9 more novels. In 1870, she emigrated to the USA, settling first in California and then in Virginia. Catherine contributed to the perpetuation of the family history and has been called one of the important channels along which information about Jane Austen's life was transmitted. Her son John Henry Hubback co-authored a family history, Jane Austen’s Sailor Brothers (1906), with his own daughter Edith Hubback.

Also, the resolution felt a bit too glossed over. I felt like if I managed to get through the hundreds of pages that came before, I should get a little bit more bang for my buck with the ending. And a caddish character drowns right at the end in a way that really only happens in Victorian novels... it's a bit heavy-handed.
The plot is about Emma Watson, a young lady who's just returning home to her family after mostly being raised by her uncle. She finds family members, some personable and some irritating, and she gets to know area families, including the noble Osbornes and the single clergyman Mr. Howard. Some people fall in love with her, so forth and so on, bad things happen, then good things happen.
Unfortunately this novel just doesn't sparkle.… (plus d'informations)
