Joanna Trollope's much-anticipated contemporary reworking of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility will launch The Austen Project and be one of the most talked about books of 2013. 'It's hugely exciting to attempt the reworking of one of the best novels written by one of our greatest novelists. This is a project which requires consummate respect above all else; not an emulation, but a tribute.' Joanna Trollope The Austen Project is a major new series of six novels teaming up authors of global literary significance with Jane Austen's six complete works. The pairing of Joanna Trollope and Jane Austen received global coverage, from the NEW YORK TIMES to the TIMES OF INDIA. The Austen Project continues with Val McDermid's reworking of Northanger Abbey in Spring 2014 and Curtis Sittenfeld's Pride and Prejudice in Autumn 2014.

Joanna Trollope brings the characters of Austen's Sense and Sensibility firmly and believably into the 21st century and makes the readers care for them all over again. Trollope is neither too respectful of Austen nor too loose with the beloved story. She manages to find her own voice (and those who have read Trollope know it is a good voice) and make the material fresh. I had thought this book might be one more publishing gimmick--and it is--but it goes beyond that and stands as a very good read on its own. Austen fans should be pleased.
