THIS ISSUE’S Buyer’s Pick
is Syrie James’ The Lost
Memoirs of Jane Austen.
Author Jane Austen
has captivated readers for
nearly 200 years. This book is built
on the premise that Austen’s memoirs
are discovered and reveal an untold
story of a life-changing love affair.
After giving up writing, Austen
meets charming Mr. Ashford—her
intellectual match. Inspired by her surroundings and Ashford’s faith in her,
Austen revises Sense and Sensibility,
hoping to be published at last.
“This is a clever little romance
for a cold Sunday afternoon, to be read
by the fire,” says Costco Book Buyer
Catherine Bergeron. “I found it to be
well researched and convincing. It’s
just perfect for all the Jane Austen
fans out there looking for more.”
The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen,
by Syrie James, is available at most
Costco warehouses.—SEP
