In the mid-1990s it became a favorite movie for millions of new admirers.A key reason for Emma's success is that the story has two heroines-Emma Woodhouse and Jane Fairfax. In Austen's novel, Jane's background is left obscure, and the turmoil underlying her current reduced circumstances in mysterious.At last we learn her whole story in Joan Aiken's superb retelling of Emma this time from Jane Fairfax's point of view. When Jane Fairfax was published in hardcover, Aiken's wit, style, and skill prompted Booklist to say, "Brilliant....extraordinarily will done and highly recommended."This worthy companion to the great original is for the first time now available in paperback. 254685 1991 Jane Fairfax: The Secret Story of the Second Heroine in Jane Austen's Emma total:266|5:32|4:106|3:101|2:21|1:6| 266 935 441 61 262744 031215707X 9780312157074 261 61 3.52 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1212770292m/262744.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/262744.Jane_Fairfax_The_Secret_Story_of_the_Second_Heroine_in_Jane_Austen_s_Emma 5 3 false Sun Jul 27 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 27 17:49:55 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 27 18:04:14 -0700 2008 more...]]> 262744 031215707X 9780312157074 261 61 3.52 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1212770292m/262744.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/262744.Jane_Fairfax_The_Secret_Story_of_the_Second_Heroine_in_Jane_Austen_s_Emma 4 1 false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 28 19:38:05 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 28 19:40:11 -0700 2007
I've never been one to read fan fiction because I've always equated it with science fiction (Star Trek, BSG, etc.) or Harry Potter.
