Thanks to my friend Annalea and her publishing internship in LA a few years back I was introduced to Syrie James with her first novel The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen. I remember enjoying that one and as soon as Daniel saw this new one he knew it would be a winner. So on Valentine's Day- I got this new one.
A missing novel never published, scavenger hunt in a big English estate to find it with a handsome stranger= a great book. Right away I knew this book was going to be a really fun read. First Samantha finds a the letter hinting that their is a missing manuscript, and her being a Jane Austen scholar she has to find the truth. The search begins and when they find the manuscript they read it, so we get to read it too. It's a story within a story. I really enjoyed the missing "manuscript" story. When the novel would go back to present day, it was good too.
This is definitely a book I would recommend to any other Jane Austen enthusiast. It gets an A 95%
