I'll Sleep When I've Read... Jane in Love by Rachel Givney

Rachel Givney's Jane in Love was used for the most recent Book Beginnings & Friday 56 post. I had a feeling then that it would also appear today. It was taking me some time to get through and I knew that I was going to want to share more. 

I had assumed that it would take me the weekend to finish.

I finished the book Friday night just before I finally went to bed.

It was marvelous and uplifting and heartbreaking and so much more than I had ever expected. I tend to be a bit picky about anything related to Jane Austen. Maybe even moreso than I am with anything related to Agatha Christie. Maybe. It's definitely a close call.

This book, though.

This book is likely going to have a place in my head and heart for quite some time to come, and will likely be re-read when I need some guaranteed "Reader's Pain" ... even though I now know what happens next.

If you want to share whatever has kept you up past your bedtime because you just needed one more chapter 

... or the entire book ... please comment! My TBR pile is already toppling, but I can always add more.
