A smile came to her lips as she realized the descriptions she applied to her belongings. A stack of correspondence lay waiting for her to take notice, and with a sigh, Abigail abandoned her comfort and took a seat at her mother’s secretaire. She made a mental note to speak to James regarding the sitting room’s fire.īeing a creature of habit, she could only get on with her life in the manner she was most accustomed. Although his arms could no longer envelop her in his strong embrace, she found some warmth in his favorite chair. How she missed her father! His humor and his intellect, his manner of always taking pleasure in her inquisitiveness and aspirations. Abigail brought her wrap in closely about her arms and snuggled in her father’s armchair, placed appropriately by the fire. The sun took its place in the morning sky, scattering its light upon the awakening countryside but ungenerously withholding its radiant heat.
With no one to come to her aid, Abigail alone must face the unsettling matter of her present state of affairs until, at length, a letter arrives. Again and again, Abigail sends out her letters, hoping soon to receive a reply. A physician serving under Captain Wentworth’s command, Jonathan Isaacs’ presence is sorely missed, never more so than when their father dies from a brief illness. Her brother, too, has been a dear friend and mentor in all things, but he has long been away from home. Books and instruments keep Abigail fairly occupied, as do her friends and neighbors, including Mrs. Abigail lives quietly at home with her father and long-time companion, Mrs. She is determined to follow in the footsteps of her heroine, Caroline Herschel, and become an astronomer in her own right. But Abigail is not concerned with her marital state. There you will meet Abigail Isaacs, a young lady long considered past her last prayers. The story unfolds in Devonshire, England-in Exeter to be exact. Shall I reveal all or just drop a few hints? In fact, I invite you to consider this stand-alone novel to be a prequel to Austen’s Persuasion.
This is my fifth book to date and in keeping with my penchant for combining various passions, this novel is a Jewish historical fiction-with more than a nod to Jane Austen’s work. Hello lovely readers! I am delighted to stop today and appreciate the opportunity to talk about my upcoming release: Celestial Persuasion.
