Austen-esque (can that be a word?)

Angela (angpin) | 1 comments I just finished the book on my Kindle and absolutely loved it...absolutely brilliant, especially for a first novel — it had a Jane Austen feel about it, as set in a highly mannered social confine, yet with the most modern feel—–Roger, the developer, the conflict between cultures. You took such great care with your characters, allowing us to grow into them, just as the Major's discovery of Mrs. Ali opens him up to many people in his life: Sandy, Grace, even Abdul Wahid.

What are your literary inspirations and what authors do you absolutely love?
