The Way We Live Now,

review
— Review of The Landing 2015 single work novel ;'“If a separated man – about to be divorced – is in possession of a good fortune, must he be in want of a new wife?” So Susan Johnson rewrites Jane Austen’s opening sentence from Pride and Prejudice, declaring her new novel, The Landing, to be a domestic comedy about marriage and marriage-like relationships.
