Jane Austen, the Romantics, and the Jews
English poet, Lord Byron and Jane Austen lived through the Napoleonic Wars and the Regency era. Austen was twelve years his senior; her family moved in different social circles. It is very likely the pair never met. They were, however, distantly related by marriage…distantly, being the key word. Bryon’s great-aunt Isabella married William Musgrave. Williams’s great-uncle, the Reverend James Musgra

“You do not credit her for what she has brought to your life. If you do not honor her for who she is and what she is capable of, she will not feel the desire to grow into anything else. Why should she, if what she has offered thus far has been met with ingratitude and contempt?”

“We are connected, Elizabeth. Of that there can be no doubt. It is something akin to your love of nature, of soil and roots and water and sunlight. Your seedlings could not thrive without one of these components…as I could not thrive without you.”

“That a woman—of age, well-read, and well-educated—could not be expected to comprehend the stirrings of the heart when men grew passionate for a cause, or grew restless for change, was a grave affront indeed. That her beloved father, who carefully nurtured her every curiosity, and her brother, who lovingly shared every lesson learned, would believe her to be insensible or incapable of aspiring to better the world tore at her heart. She strove to maintain some sort of equanimity but the nature of the events was far too implausible to allow.
“It is a bitter pill to swallow,” she murmured at length. “It seems the men in my family deemed it necessary to withhold their dearest worldly concerns from me, after all we had been to one another.”

Hello Mirta, I truly enjoyed your book (tango and knishes) that I was wondering if you have one written in Spanish. I would love to give a copy to my Argentina Jewish mom who prefers reading in Spanish than English. Thanks from NYC.
Howdy, Mirta!Thanks for the friend request. I look forward to seeing you around GoodReads and the Austenesque Lovers group. :)
Mirta - Thank you - Argentina has a special place in my heart. I'm glad you enjoyed the book. I have written a Memoir that I hope to publish sometime but at present I am trying to catch up with writing my second novel called 'Father's Dead and Mother's Vanished'. I agree with you that a title is important. So this one may be changed in the future. I have downloaded your book and I think it covers a later period so I am looking forward to reading it. Best wishes

Thanks for stopping by and saying hello!
Glad to be friends with you. You probably have seen on my profile that I lived in Buenos Aires for the first twelve years of my life. My parents met there and spent thirty years or more living in San Juan and Buenos Aires. My first novel Cry for me Argentina is based on my Mother's story of her exciting life in that wonderful country. It is mainly fiction, especially the bits about my Dad being a spy! I returned to Argentina in 2003 and went back to my old school and met four of my teachers - one was 100 yrs old. I hope you will have time to read my book and perhaps review it sometime. I am also on Facebook and Pinterest and shall look you up on those sites. I am reading The Nightingale at present and hope to read your book soon. Your new one looks interesting - I am on chapter 5 of my new novel. It takes place in, England, France and Haiti. It is about a daughter searching for her mother after her Dad is murdered.
