«Une saison à Longbourn» is the historical novel by Jo Baker, published by Stock in paperback (393 pages, in French).
A novel narrated from the ground floor of Longbourn: while the Bennet family lives out the well-known romance of Elizabeth and Darcy, the servants toil at domestic work and keep their own stories of love and secrets. Jo Baker gives voice to those secondary characters from Pride and Prejudice and portrays servitude in the Regency era.
Originally published in English as «Longbourn» in 2013. Nominated for the 2014 RUSA CODES Reading List in the historical fiction category.
For readers who want to revisit Jane Austen's universe from another perspective and value historical fiction with a domestic setting.
