Many rumors abound about a mysterious gentleman said to be the love of Jane's life—finally, the truth may have been found. . . .
What if, hidden in an old attic chest, Jane Austen's memoirs were discovered after hundreds of years? What if those pages revealed the untold story of a life-changing love affair? That's the premise behind this spellbinding novel, which delves into the secrets of Jane Austen's life, giving us untold insights into her mind and heart.
Jane Austen has given up her writing when, on a fateful trip to Lyme, she meets the well-read and charming Mr. Ashford, a man who is her equal in intellect and temperament. Inspired by the people and places around her, and encouraged by his faith in her, Jane begins revising Sense and Sensibility, a book she began years earlier, hoping to be published at last.
Deft and witty, written in a style that echoes Austen's own, this unforgettable novel offers a delightfully possible scenario for the inspiration behind this beloved author's romantic tales. It's a remarkable book, irresistible to anyone who loves Jane Austen—and to anyone who loves a great story.

Será que Cassandra, irmã de Jane Austen, realmente queimou as cartas da Jane? O que aconteceria se, depois de alguns anos, descobrissem as cartas revelando uma parte intima da vida da escritora? 

Syrie James nos traz no livro The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen uma biografia ficcional da nossa queria escritora. O livro traz, em torno de partes reais da vida de Jane, o suposto romance secreto que ela teve em sua vida - o que é muito especulado. 

James tenta convencer o leitor em sua escrita de que os fatos ali postos são reais - o que acredito que possa dar certo em alguns casos. 

The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen é leitura obrigatória a todas as Janeites de plantão! \o
