Louisa Young expressed her excitement for the project, stating, "The world Jane observed and wrote about has not stopped with her observation of it. The characters are so alive still; the developments of their society continue, and, like many others, I want more." This sentiment echoes the timeless nature of Howard's original characters and narratives, expressing a desire to continue exploring their lives in a changing world.
Young plans to delve into the socio-political transformations of the 60s and 70s, saying, "In these books I will observe the immense social change of the 60s and 70s through the lives of individuals. How will they cope as modern England shifts and forms around them?" This indicates a commitment to marrying personal stories with broader historical contexts.
