I've loved visiting Utah this week!

Signed copies of SILK AND SENSIBILITY can be found in Draper, Cottonwood Heights, Riverton, Valley Fair, Bountiful, Layton, Clinton, and Logan.

🌸🌸🌸

Hi, I'm Mengxi, an academic translator who wrote a retelling of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility set in Ming-dynasty China. Available in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook from @shadowmountainpub @properromanceseries

In a world of dowries and societal pressure, two sisters with conflicting views on propriety and passion must learn from each other's strengths to navigate love and find their own happily-ever-afters.

SILK AND SENSIBILITY is perfect for fans of:
📔Jane Austen retellings
🐼Chinese history and culture
🌸C-drama vibes
💖Sweet happy endings

⭐Booklist starred review: "Even the staunchest Janeite will be impressed by the author's ability to honor the original framework of Sense and Sensibility while making it wholly unique within the sixteenth-century China setting."
