Why I feel this sudden need to fix on paper a report from the most intimate nature, which I've never confessed before, I can not say. Perhaps it is this maddening disease which, for some time, increasingly bothering me - reminding me with insidious insistence that they are mortal - that drove me to record something of what happened ... The author pretends that an imaginary university English teacher (that Mary I. Jess, which is an anagram of Syrie James) has revised and published a diary that belonged to Jane Austen, diary in which the darling of millions of readers, would noted the details of his unique love story.
Of course it's all fiction, but what comes out is a masterpiece that makes us imagine holding the events surrounding the life of Jane just before the illness struck.
Mr. Ashford is the embodiment of all the male characters of Austen, by Darcy in Willoughby, a concentration of passion, intelligence, charm, cowardice, all together.
They are very beautiful scenes in which Jane imagine the work in drafting and re-write their novels, and those in which his brother Henry is being done to ensure that her sister's novels are published.
also very exciting moments in which friends and relatives informed of the action in awe for the stories. The
James gives us an image of Jane loud, but sentimental, romantic but also strong, in fact a fairly realistic. And do not miss any funny scene, such as one in which we meet Mr. Morton, a man indeed "ridiculous" (as defined in the text the same Jane) that it would have been a source of inspiration for a later novel of Austen
short, a very pleasant and recommended reading
