CLOSED Giveaway: Searching for Captain Wentworth

Ooh look, a giveaway! Shiny.
=D

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Searching for Captain Wentworth by Jane Odiwe
Amazon | Goodreads
318 pages
Expected publication: September 2012
When aspiring writer, Sophie Elliot, receives the keys to the family townhouse in Bath, it's an invitation she can’t turn down, especially when she learns that she will be living next door to the house her favourite author, Jane Austen, lived in. But, the neglected house is harbouring more than the antiquated furniture and nesting mice, though initially Sophie tries to dismiss the haunting visions of a young girl. On discovering that an ancient glove belonging to her mysterious neighbour, Josh Strafford, will transport her back in time to Regency Bath, she questions her sanity, but Sophie is soon caught up in two dimensions, each reality as certain as the other. Torn between her life in the modern world, and that of her ancestor who befriends Jane Austen and her fascinating brother Charles, Sophie's story travels two hundred years across time, and back again, to unite this modern heroine with her own Captain Wentworth. Blending fact and fiction together the tale of Jane Austen’s own quest for happiness weaves alongside, creating a believable world of new possibilities for the inspiration behind the beloved novel, Persuasion.

  31. I love Jane's other books. I have all but one I believe. This sounds like a departure from the usual - being time travel. I'd love to read it. I think Ms. Odiwe's style of writing will make any book she writes in very good taste.

  43. I just had to say that the excerpt totally draws one in. How can one not want to read what comes next? Poor girl...I could totally picture the dust etc. Maybe it's my house :) I'd love to see that bed as well. It sounds gorgeous and cozy - something to keep in the warmth, keep out the drafts and the light. (Once she gets the dust out and can breathe of course)
