Product description
There are many rumors about a mysterious gentleman who is said to have been the love of Jane's life. Maybe now the truth will be revealed...
What was Jane Austen's secret? Was the God-given talent alone enough for the daughter of an old English country minister with many children to produce such twisty novels under the sizzling quill of her daughter, which are still at the top of the bestseller lists worldwide today, and which we stare at with ecstatic happiness when they appear on the screen? How could a woman - who hardly had the opportunity to gather real experiences - create such lifelike figures? And mainly: how was he able to write about love with such empathy as he did, since he had absolutely no experience in this field?
Well, the successful American writer Syrie James gives an answer to the latter question in her excellent novel, which uses the fact that something was missing from Jane Austen's biography, a period of her life, all documents of which were carefully disappeared by family members. According to Syrie James, during this period, life presents Miss Austen with a wonderful, blazingly passionate love. And according to the fiction, Jane Austen leaves this story, which is sometimes funny and sometimes painful, full of complications, in the attic of one of her brothers, hidden in an old sailor's chest, and in her recently found memoirs.
