A review by knittyreader
Catharine, Or, The Bower by Jane Austen

4.0

I never read the unfinished story of Catharine before, so I had not previous knowledge of where Austen's work stops, and where Rockas' work begins. I did not really find out either, which is a good thing, it is clear Rockas put a lot of work into keeping his writing style as Austenesque as possible. I must admit that, although I have been obsessed with Austen's work, I am not the kind of reader who readily notices difference in writing style when someone really attempts it to be as similar as possible.

I loved reading this story, and seeing the start of many characters who I loved in Austen's later work.

I received a free copy through Netgalley in return for an honest review.
