Here is a great reader review for this book on Goodreads and in The Sleuth: The Original Nancy Drew Fanzine: "The Stolen Masterpiece is book #5 of the Nancy Keene mystery series, a parody of Nancy Drew. It was by far my favorite story and most like Nancy Drew. Nancy has delved into ancestry.com, after finding letters written by her great grandfather to family in Amsterdam and has discovered family living there: Dominique and his family- parents Hans and Veronique and sister Nortje. This is her mother’s family. When Mr. Keene has to travel to Amsterdam on business Nancy, Beth, and Hannah, who are on spring break, accompany him. We are treated to some history and descriptions of scenery. Nancy also knows quite a bit about famous paintings, especially by Vermeer and Van Gogh. At the art museum they meet Sophie, the curator, who seems interested in Mr. Keene. Nancy promotes the attraction between the two until they become mutually interested and then seems jealous. Dominique, a cute guy her age, shows Nancy into a secret room they recently found that is full of old paintings. They have deduced that the Jewish people who lived in their house in the World War II era hid them away before being taken off to a concentration camp. His family has tried to trace the family but they were all killed in the war. Nancy is sure that one of them is an unsigned Vermeer. Before they can do anything about it, the house is broken into and the painting stolen! Who knew about the secret room? The carpenters who fixed it when a wall was ruined with water? One guy at school who Dominique told? The kids set up a “sting” to trap the thief but before they execute it Nancy figures out who the thief is and recovers the painting. The Vermeer is donated to an art museum; the other paintings that are also worth much money will be sold and Hans and his family will make many euros. At the book’s end Nancy and her chums appear on a TV show to promote genealogy."

Both sisters had attended the festival when they were teenagers. In this book, Amy morphs into her 13-year-old self, wearing a mini-skirt and go-go boots; and her sister Denise turns into her pregnant 18-year-old self, wearing a homemade maternity blouse trimmed with peace symbols that she has fashioned out of red rickrack. Once again, they hear bands such as The Bryds, The Grateful Dead, The Jefferson Airplane, and Steppenwolf. They hitch-hike back to their childhood home, see and talk to relatives who died years ago, and even run into younger versions of their husbands. Despite all the fun they are having, they are plagued with the question, “How are we going to get back to 2018?” Flash back to the 60s and find out why this story has earned Five Star and Four Star Reviews. Here's what reviewers are saying about this book: "Excellently written this story is an outstanding tale of the 1960’s with such descriptive detail I felt as though I was really there and living it all through the sisters’ eyes. From the festival, the stores, the cars, the house it’s all there. So amazing. Step into the photo booth take a flashback and relive 1968 once again."

The Forgotten Sister: A Sequel to Pride and Prejudice by Louise Hathaway Pdf

In The Forgotten Sister, the drawing rooms of the Regency era are opened for us to view the world where Jane Austen left off when she wrote Pride and Prejudice. This novel is about Mary Bennet, the plain middle daughter, as she compares herself to her beautiful sisters, tries to get her father to notice her, falls in love, becomes a writer, and ultimately a champion for those less fortunate. Told in her revealing diary entries, we see Mary develop from a petulant teenager to a woman who learns that there is a wider world outside of the confines of Pemberley and the Bennet family. What makes The Forgotten Sister different from other books written about Pride and Prejudice is its depiction of the social history in Britain during the nineteenth century as seen through Mary's eyes.

Marriage in Pride and Prejudice: A Literary Essay by Louise Hathaway Pdf

I wrote this literary essay in graduate school the semester before I received my Masters Degree in English Literature. It is about marriage expectations in the Regency period as expressed in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. It explores the different relationships between the sexes in the novel, and what the options were for women who were not yet married during this period. It is accompanied by photographs taken by my husband when we made a Jane Austen pilgrimage to her homes in Winchester and Chawton, England. Hopefully fans of Jane Austen won't find it too full of bibliographic information and may look at it as an interesting example of the kind of writing that Masters Degree students must submit. Hopefully, my readers will learn some new things about Jane that they didn't already know.
