'No one is better qualified than Byrne to imagine and expand upon Austen’s true romance. Her treasure chest of Austen knowledge and her ability to spiritually inhabit historical figures are displayed to fine advantage' WASHINGTON POST
Summer 1801. Sidmouth, England.
The Austen Family descends upon a fashionable Georgian seaside resort in Devonshire for a six-week holiday. Jane's brother, Frank, is on leave from the Royal Navy, and dearly wishes to unite his sister with his friend Captain Peter Parker. But another holidaymaker, a handsome stranger, catches sight of Jane and is determined to make her acquaintance. This rival to Captain Parker is Samuel Rose: a lawyer, literary man and abolitionist. As the weeks pass, Jane's relationship with both men brings about unexpected surprises. By the end of the summer, the course of her life will have changed forever.
Set against the backdrop of Austen’s family, the tensions of the war against France, and naval and colonial politics, SIX WEEKS BY THE SEA is the fascinating story of how the most famous romance writer of all time fell in love for the first time.

'No one is better qualified than Byrne to imagine and expand upon Austen’s true romance. Her treasure chest of Austen knowledge and her ability to spiritually inhabit historical figures are displayed to fine advantage in Six Weeks by the Sea. With Austen’s 250th birthday coming up in December, Byrne’s charming novel is a fine way to start the party'
Washington Post
'A cleverly imagined love story woven over a scaffolding of fact. Austen’s family did indeed visit the seaside town of Sidmouth for six weeks in the summer of 1801, and her adored brother Frank did join them on shore leave from the British Navy. His friend Captain Peter Parker, however, is Byrne’s invention, while the lawyer Samuel Rose, another candidate for Jane’s attentions, is inspired by a real person who never crossed paths with Austen. The Jane Austen beach book fans have been waiting for'
Kirkus Reviews
'For longtime fans or those with knowledge of the Austen family, there are hints acknowledging actual family dynamics and events, but background knowledge is not required to appreciate Byrne's first foray into historical fiction. Offering deeper insights into relationships, including Jane’s much-speculated-on romantic connections, amid quiet moments of domestic life, Six Weeks by the Sea is an appropriately Austenesque novel of manners. Addressing serious social issues as seen through period-appropriate perspectives may provide modern readers new understanding of Jane Austen and her world'
