Sinopse

The minute I saw the letter, I knew it was hers. There was no mistaking it: the salutation, the tiny, precise handwriting, the date, the content itself, all confirmed its ancient status and authorship....

Samantha McDonough cannot believe her eyes - or her luck. Tucked in an uncut page of a 200-year-old poetry book is a letter she believes was written by Jane Austen, mentioning with regret a manuscript that "went missing at Greenbriar in Devonshire". Could there really be an undiscovered Jane Austen novel waiting to be found? Could anyone resist the temptation to go looking for it?

Making her way to the beautiful, centuries-old Greenbriar estate, Samantha finds it no easy task to sell its owner, the handsome yet uncompromising Anthony Whitaker, on her wild idea of searching for a lost Austen work - until she mentions its possible million-dollar value.

After discovering the unattributed manuscript, Samantha and Anthony are immediately absorbed in the story of Rebecca Stanhope, daughter of a small town rector, who is about to encounter some bittersweet truths about life and love. As they continue to read the newly discovered tale from the past, a new one unfolds in the present - a story that just might change both of their lives forever.

Resumo da Crítica

"This richly imagined Jane Austen 'road novel' is...a page turner.... A standout addition to the crowded archive of Austen homages." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)

"A literary feast for Anglophiles...[with] an Austen-worthy ending." (Publishers Weekly)

"James expertly blends Austen archetypes - bumbling suitors, lady friends both silly and sympathetic, bemused fathers - with her own narrative wit.... A sweet, enjoyable read for any Austen fan." (Shelf Awareness)
