• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A 1930s romantic comedy brought straight from the pages of Jane Austen . . .

Faye Powell is a typical girl from Tennessee during the Depression. Her parents are struggling, their large family isn't easy to support, and the few people with good fortune are objects of envy, similar to the Hollywood stars whose faces appear at the movies each week. Except that it's hard to feel that way if you actually live with them and know what they're like.

Faye's aunt and uncle live in a lovely house in Illinois, so fine it's actually been given a name like it's some kind of country estate. Bellevere House. And that's where Faye is staying. After being semi-adopted by her relatives, she drifts around accompanying her silly, spoiled cousins on their rounds of clueless insulation, irresponsible schemes, romantic entanglements that lead to disaster, and affectations of stardom. It's hard to be jealous of people when she sees the sometimes painful reality under the surface. And it's downright impossible when arrogant Ed believes she has a thing for him when she doesn't.

At leastshe doesn't yet.

You Can't Take It with You meets Mansfield Park in this sparkling and creative revision of one of Austen's great novels. Set in a charming, chic 1930s setting, Bellevere House is soaked in vintage Americana.

Autorenporträt

​Sarah Scheele is the author of numerous books for younger readers. Her books often appeal to a "for the whole family" sensibility making them accessible to adults, as well as bridging numerous age subcategories within YA, from Middle Grade to New Adult. She lives on a third-generation family farm in Texas, was homeschooled long before other people had even heard of the idea, and grew up surrounded by big blue skies, winding gravel roads, and the great classics of literature. Her independent, somewhat isolated existence meant the friends she made in these books--titles as varied as Little Women and The Lord of the Rings--had a reality to her almost equal to the close-knit circle of people she knew in real life. This sense of respect for people in general, which sprang from having very few in her life, permeates her books with emotional nuance and terse interactions between people expressed with simplicity. In her style of fiction, every detail matters--most of all the little things and the things we take for granted. A published author for the last 15 years, she has an extensive repertoire of young adult fiction titles, divided into four trilogies. 2023 saw the beginning of the publication of complete trilogy editions for the first three trilogies. Her next standalone title will be Temmark Osteraith, the third book in the Prince's Invite Trilogy. She was also for 8 years a Pomeranian owner--and Pom would undoubtedly have said she was a devoted fan as well.
