I always enjoy reading historical fiction about real-life figures, and especially about the people adjacent to someone more famous, so I was excited to read Godmersham Park by Gill Hornby. It follows the years that Anne Sharp worked as a governess for the Austen family at their home in Kent. While there, she met her pupil Fanny's aunt, Jane, who would go on to write the timeless novels we all know and love to this day. It's an interesting slice of life filled with friendship, empowerment, and even a bit of mystery.
Special thanks to Laurel Ann Nattress, Austenprose PR, Pegasus Books, and Gill Hornby for the review copy of this book!
