About this product
Product Information
With the many spin-offs from Jane Austen's stories rising in popularity, Syrie James takes it one step further and imagines an adventure for Jane herself. She creates a grand romance for Jane, seamlessly weaving together fact and fiction to present us with a tale of love and heartbreak-a tale from which all of Jane Austen's novels would stem... Hidden in an old chest in her brother's attic, Jane Austen's memoirs are uncovered after hundreds of years, bricked up behind an old wall. Written shortly before her death, one volume was preserved immaculately, and its contents both shocked and thrilled readers. Detailing a love affair the author was apparently determined to keep secret, Jane's memoir offers readers untold insights into her mind and heart. Many rumors abound about a mysterious gentleman said to be the love of Jane's life--finally, the truth may have been found.
