Patrick O'Brian (author of the Aubrey/Maturin series) was a huge Austen fan and intentionally modeled his writing style after hers. Post Captain (book 2) is the most explicit homage, with a number of character names borrowed from Austen's work. | ||

The early books in particular are Austen with sailing, swearing, and sex. | ||

I couldn't recommend Patrick O'Brian more, I binged the entire Aubrey-Maturin series during lockdown and was genuinely sad for a week when I reached the end of it. | ||

I'm (very) slowly collecting the Aubrey/Martin series from second hand bookshops. For some reason I stopped reading the first book 50-odd pages in, but I will be returning! | ||
