In Aiken's sequel to Jane Austen's complex and fascinating novel, after heroine Fanny Price marries Edmund Bertram, they depart for the Caribbean, and Fanny's younger sister Susan moves to Mansfield Park as Lady Bertram's new companion. Surrounded by the familiar cast of characters from Jane Austen's original, and joined by a few charming new characters introduced by the author, Susan finds herself entangled in romance, surprise, scandal, and redemption.

Aiken's diverting tale gives the reader interesting speculation on how the Crawfords, whose winning personalities were marred by an amoral upbringing, might have turned out, and Jane Austen's morality tale takes new directions with an unexpected and somewhat controversial ending.

"A lovely read-and you don't have to have read Mansfield Park to enjoy it."-Woman's Own

"Her sense of time and place is impeccable."-Publishers Weekly

"An excellent sequel...remarkably effective and very funny."
-Evening Standard

About the Author:
The late Joan Aiken was a scholar and a prolific author of children's books and Jane Austen sequels and continuations. She is the author of Emma Watson which completes Jane Austen's posthumously published fragment The Watsons, and of Eliza's Daughter, a sequel to Sense and Sensibility.
Review:
"Aiken's characters are likeable and stay true to their origins." - ForeWord's This Week

"Aiken manages Austen's style quite nicely and evidently had fun doing so." - A Garden Carried in the Pocket

"All in all I enjoyed the book thoroughly... [Joan Aiken] was a darned good writer and could spin an interesting yarn." - Jane Austen Today

"I can't even begin to enjoy a JA sequel unless the language is right, and Aiken scores top marks for this -- I couldn't fault her once. Her characterisation is also astonishingly right." - Harriet Devine's Blog

"A lovely book and one that I found I could not put down and really wanted to finish even though I knew the ending, always a sign of an enjoyable and absorbing read. " - Random Jottings

" I would recommend this to other Jane Austen fans who like having something around the house or in your purse to read off and on as the mood strikes." - The Literate Housewife

"Tthe fact that I finished the book in one day and cared about what happened to the characters proves that, gosh darn it, Mansfield Park Revisited was good." - AustenBlog

"I just LOVED this book. It was delightful and charming. " - Becky's Book Reviews
