There are so many people to whom I owe a debt of gratitude for introducing me to things I wouldn’t have known otherwise, and I’m hoping that there will be a few readers who will pick up the books on this list and feel exactly the same way.

First off, I have not read Austen’s Pride and Prejudice(though I’ll get to it one day), which means I am not able to make comparisons. When I read the short excerpt available on the Neglected Books Page, it had me thinking of Eimear McBride’s A Girl is a Half-formed Thing – the style, the stream of consciousness. I worked with the author, actually – nothing to do with this book, but about 10-12 years ago, I republished one of his books, Gents (1997), about cottaging in public toilets.

I thoroughly enjoyed the mystery and magic, the light romance, and the pacing after the initial delay. Had it been clear from the start that this was set in 2017, I wouldn't have found myself confused over which are Emma's entries and which are of the book's previous owner. Emma finds a mysterious journal that seems to hold entries from a variety of people dating as far back as the castle's existence.

This journal doesn't only hold historical value, though, as it is nothing short of being a magic book.Plot - I enjoyed the plot of this book, it was a perfect palette cleanser after reading dark books and epic fantasies. We do also get a few iconic scenes and those familiar with Austen's works will surely pick them out.
