The war with France is over and Captain Charles Blake is soon to return home for good. Emma Osborne and Anne Musgrave will spend the summer with their Aunt Harding at a little known paradise on the south coast of England. Not far away, Captain Blake is intent on fulfilling a solemn promise. A sequel to 'Emma and Elizabeth', 'Brinshore' takes its inspiration from Jane Austen’s unfinished manuscripts, 'The Watsons' and 'Sanditon'. Ann Mychal was awarded ‘Best Debut Author’ by Austenprose in 2014 for her first novel, 'Emma and Elizabeth'. less
