Critics Review
Hornby’s Austen books are funny, bittersweet family sagas, impeccably researched and lavishly imagined * The Times *Combines meticulous research with a fabulously heartfelt feeling for her characters … Filled with Austen-esque ironies and humour. * The Daily Express *Joyous … captured with apt perspicacity and keen wit * Mail on Sunday *Has all the wit and wisdom of a Jane Austen novel * Red *Combines meticulous period research with a fine feeling for the characters’ inner lives, hopes and fears * Daily Mail *I’m so fond of Gill’s books for their vividness at explaining the historical period. She also truly cares about her characters and their welfare * Aine Toner, Belfast Telegraph *Has all Austen’s wit and unnerving powers of observation with an extra twenty-first century zap * Ferdinand Mount *Few writers are as perspicacious or half as delightful as Hornby * Karen Joy Fowler *Gripping and moving and also so sharp and funny. I loved it! * Sabine Durrant *Tremendous … Darker than Miss Austen but rendered with her characteristic lightness of touch and neat wit * Nigella Lawson *
