This book started slow, but ended up being both sweet and philosophical. A team of time travelers are sent to see if they can meet Jane Austen. They are assigned to befriend her and to locate a manuscript that is thought to be lost. Of course the directive to alter history as little as possible and the social customs of 19th century England made this somewhat difficult. Overall I am glad I stuck out the tea parties, carriage rides, and dress fittings of the beginning of the novel, as the end, with it's thought provoking questions about time travel and changing history, has really stuck with me.
