(“McVeigh’s prose and plotting are pitch perfect – she echoes the master herself” – Publishers Weekly.)In Harriet, a rather more clued-up Harriet Smith is secretly determined to marry a gentleman. And who better to assist her ambition than Miss Woodhouse, the envied queen of Highbury? This is Emma, but described from the dual points of view of Harriet and Jane Fairfax. Harriet – really, it should have been called Jane and Harriet – was a runner-up in the 2022 Foreword Indies’ “Book of the Year” and won not only the Gold Medal in the Historical Fiction Society Awards 2023, but also bronze in the Independent Publishers Book Awards (the “IPPYs”).
