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. </p> <p> 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 <i>Sense and Sensibility</i>, a book she began years earlier, hoping to be published at last. </p> <p> 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&#8212;and to anyone who loves a great story. </p> 3352419 1 11 2007 The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen total:1078|5:10|4:14|3:20|2:7|1:2| 1078 3954 1990 361 4 5 false false Wed Feb 27 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 08 20:51:17 -0800 2008 Wed Mar 12 12:32:58 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 4 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 10 10:55:37 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 26 09:35:34 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 3 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Mar 09 04:17:26 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 09 04:21:16 -0700 2008
