New Jane Austen novel discovered
Well, perhaps not. The “youth correspondent” for fredericksburg.com gives Madame Bovary a scathing review, but fortunately she is able to offer her readers an alternative:
If ever you find yourself craving a classic novel, try Jane Austen’s “Jane Eyre,” where our heroine actually has a brain and the dialogue is reasonably realistic.
Unfortunately, we have not been able to track that one down on amazon.com. Too bad. It sounded pretty good.
