Travel from 1811 to 1886 Before she can love, Catherine Bennet must learn that the hottest fire makes the strongest steel. For Kitty Bennet, being Lydia's shadow had unfathomable consequences. The day after Elizabeth and Jane wed is the day she learns her fate-exile to a Cornwall seminary. One adolescent tantrum later, and Miss Bennet tumbles out of the Bennet Wardrobe seventy-five years in the future. There she finds a stormy-eyed man who can barely abide her presence: Viscount Henry Fitzwilliam. Is it disdain or something entirely different? Henry pines for another woman, lost to him nearly thirty years in his future. His heart refuses to allow another entry. A love once thought unreachable ultimately proves the salvation for two lost souls when he sees the beginning of the attachment he thought left behind. About the Wardrobe Series: The Wardrobe sends Bennets on time travels where they can discover what they must. Explore how the Bennet sisters' love stories echo through time across all eight books. Some doors open to cloaks and bonnets, others to unknown futures. Content warning: Readers should know this story includes some scenes of implied physical and sexual assault, some suggestive content, miscarriage, death, and mourning. Susan Andrews, author of the Camp Jane Series, says of The Exile: Kitty Bennet and the Belle ???poque : The Exile: Kitty Bennet and the Belle ???poque transports an unschooled girl into the golden age of art and literature. There she learns that which she must through joy, sorrow, heartache, and romance. Author Don Jacobson weaves a tune guaranteed to please all lovers of intelligent, well-written stories that delight in making history sing. Sophia Rose, in her review of Belle ???poque, says of the entire Series: I continued to be quite captivated by this riveting series and am eager to press forward for what will come. Again, I am nudging this series toward Austen lovers, particularly if they enjoy a strong ration of magical time travel with their variations and sequels. Readers Rate The Exile: Kitty Bennet and the Belle ???poque Five Stars! K. Pease reviews the third volume in the Wardrobe series: The moment of this series so far that stays with my heart is when Kitty and Lydia have a conversation as Kitty steps into her future. Many scenes remain in our heads, but I felt so much for them both that it imprinted on my heart. I disliked the hurt she had to suffer when she was waiting for Henry to get done with his showing off, but I loved that it felt like there was real love in her story, as so many series and books pass over her as a coatrack...so to speak. Maryann enthuses about The Exile: Kitty Bennet and the Belle ???poque : This book will keep you enthralled with the mystery of the Wardrobe. This story is complex: interesting travels, history lessons, suspense, and romance. You won't want to put the novel down. Historical characters are included in the plot: Sigmund Freud, and Renoir, along with a certain fictional detective. It was wonderful to see how the author used Kitty Bennet and Henry Fitzwilliam as characters to grow to their potential and learn to understand who they were in multi-dimensional phases of their lives. They also learned that they were meant to be together but had to know themselves first before they could be together. There were times during reading I almost felt part of the plot as to the sadness I felt for Kitty and then again for Henry!
