A Piece of Pocket Handkerchief

By Graeme Perkins

Book Overview

"Jane Austen thought that, had she accepted young Harris Bigg Wither's proposal of marriage, she would indeed have become related by marriage to this extraordinarily handsome young man"

Based on truth with new historical findings, most of the main characters are in the family, friends and acquaintances of Jane Austen, who appears inside, as do other well-known personages of the time.

Hal falls in love with Harriet, the sister of his deceased wife. Trouble being, she is already married. The story tells of the couple's struggles against both ecclesiastical and parliamentary divorce laws of the time, as well the steps taken against them by her enraged husband.

The story tells of their lives leading up to this perilous situation ? How were the Austens connected? Does their love sustain them throughout? Does their story have a happy ending?
