The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen

I'm an Austen purist, and to be honest, I was very skeptical of this book (as I am of any author writing "in the style of" another author). But I must say, Syrie James won me over! It's not perfect, but it is very, very well done. I laughed and cried in all the right places, and I'm looking forward to The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Bronte. Thank you Syrie James! It truly is like a surprise gift from Austen.
