Book Reviews of The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen
Book Review: Lovely, romantic, clever and inspiring!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this novel. It's a wonderful, page-turning story, and it truly captures the voice, spirit, world and wit of Jane Austen. I couldn't put the book down-- and then I didn't want it to end!
Unlike the many other books out there that continue the stories of the characters in Jane's novels, this novel is about Jane herself. I truly felt that I was reading Jane Austen's own words, and experiencing her thoughts, feelings, frustrations and passions, as she falls in love, and struggles to grow into her own as a novelist. The book is intelligent, funny, tender, romantic and suspenseful. I loved the portrayal of Jane and her sister Cassandra, I loved Mr. Ashford, and I found the period details right on.
I will be recommending this novel to all my friends and to my book club, and I know I'll be reading it again. There are some Jane Austen fanatics who take her (and themselves) far too seriously, and will look for any little thing to criticize... but I, too, have read all of Austen's novels many times over, and this book is a delightful read. Jane Austen was indeed a genius, and we all dearly wish that she had written more than six books; but this novel was so brilliant and so convincing, it made me feel that Jane had taken up her pen and written again.
