“Fang-tastic. Ford’s Jane is a very fun and funny heroine to root for as she endures the indignities of publishing and bookselling, fends off danger and (perhaps) finds love.”
– Publishers Weekly
Two hundred years after her death, Jane Austen is still surrounded by the literature she loves—but now it’s because she’s the owner of Flyleaf Books in a sleepy college town in Upstate New York. Every day she watches her novels fly off the shelves—along with dozens of unauthorized sequels, spin-offs, and adaptations. Jane may be undead, but her books have taken on a life of their own.

“Ford handily navigates the suffocating intimacy of smalltown life, and his wide supporting cast has a few meaty characters.”
– Publishers Weekly

“Makes a powerful emotional impact.”
– Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Ford knows how to draw in a reader.” — Entertainment Weekly

“An insightful and entertaining read about what we seek, and what answers we find within and without.” – Booklist

“He effectively draws his readers into the wild world of Provincetown . . . plenty of page-turning drama . . . a winner.” – Entertainment Weekly
