Aprašymas

The story of Harriet Ward, known as Hatty to her sisters - Lady Bertram and Mrs. Norris of Mansfield Park fame.

Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park famously narrates the story of poor little Fanny Price sent to live with her mother's grander sisters - the Ward family. Written almost two centuries later, Joan Aiken’s powerful sequel reverses the story and introduces us to The Youngest Miss Ward, Hatty, sent to fend for herself with the poor relations.

Although creative, charismatic and witty, Hatty Ward lacks the beauty that her older sisters inherited and is left without a dowry; she turns her creative flair to poetry and believes she must become a governess, that is until handsome Lord Camber passes through town . . .
Joan Aiken captures the customs and language of Austen’s England in this one of a kind sequel, revealing a subversive and unique heroine.
