Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Those who remember reading Jane Austen's Emma (Audio Reviews, LJ 2/15/97) will enjoy this superbly crafted novel, read winningly by Marlene Sidaway, that tells about the "other heroine" in Austen's novel, the mysterious and enigmatic Jane Fairfax. This delightfully refreshing work recounts the circumstances shaping Jane's personality. Aiken manages to assume the language of Austen's time, with wit, subtle humor, and wise insights drawn from the most ordinary affairs of daily life. Those insights especially concern relations between the social classes and the sexes. Sidaway narration hits just the right tone. One need not have read Emma to enjoy this audiobook. It is a fine work likely to please the more serious listener, especially those who love Austen. This won't have a place in the strictly "popular, mass market" audiobook collection, but if you have a more comprehensive collection, this gem is recommended.?Nancy Paul, Brandon P.L., WI

I am a fan of Jane Austen's Emma, and really enjoyed Hollywood's rendition of the novel, and came away from both sharing a bit of Emma's resentment towards Jane Fairfax. So it is quite an accomplishment to write a novel that so quickly and deftly turned my sympathies and interests towards a previously unliked character.
Aiken's Jane Fairfax fleshes out the childhood histories of both leading ladies (Emma and Jane), and fills in the back story of their relationship and temperaments.
It is fascinating to read the story that takes place prior to the time period where 'Emma' is focused, but even more interesting to read the shifted perspective once the two storylines sync up.
Finally, the book is so well-written, so closely adhering to Jane Austen's own style, that you can convince yourself you are reading a long lost manuscript from Austen herself. And as the tale unfolds, and Jane's perspective reveals more of Emma's character than we even knew before, Austen's 'Emma' becomes an even better realized, more ironic, and wryer look at social folly.
I definitely recommend this novel to any Austen fan, particularly those familiar with 'Emma.'

Like so many others, I have loved all of Jane Austen's novels and was sorry when there were no more to read. So I looked for sequels and was very satisfied by this one about Jane Fairfax by Ms. Aiken. It answered a lot of the questions about Jane that were at the back of my mind and made her more real and sympathetic. I especially enjoyed finding out about how her relationship with Frank Churchill developed before they came to Highbury in the Emma story. The way the author brings Jane and Emma together at the end is satisfying too. Thanks!

I had just finished reading a sequel to another Jane Austen novel, "Presumption", and was really not expecting much after being so disappointed it the sequel to P & P. (though by a different author) I was very much surprised by Jane Fairfax! I started the book and could not put it down until I finished the whole thing. I liked how the first half described her childhood and her experiences with the Campbells and then the second half was Jane Austen's Emma through her eyes. She told the story tastefully and I dare say that Austen would be proud of the effort. I at first thought that Emma W. was portrayed in a bad light, but after reading the whole story, you really sympathize with JAne and her feelings toward Emma. Though I knew the ending, it was quite refreshing to relive it through "another's eyes"
