What if Jane Austen was secretly married? What if she had a baby whose descendants are still alive today? Violet Desmond has just learned that her life is a lie. With sparse clues, she sets off to discover her hidden history and, simultaneously, an explanation for her vivid dreams-dreams in which a woman from the past narrates an impossible story involving a secret marriage and a child-a story intimately connected to Jane Austen. Violet reluctantly agrees to receive help from cavalier Peter Knighton. Blacklisted from his profession, Knighton can almost taste the money and accolades he'll receive for digging up something good on Austen. The unlikely pair begins a quest for answers that leads them to Aerendgast Hallows. Knee-deep in hidden crypts, perilous pursuits, and centuries-old riddles, Violet must put her literary expertise to the test as she battles to uncover the secret that her loved ones died trying to reveal-before an unknown enemy silences her as well.

I’ve read a few really great fictions where Jane Austen’s life as we know it has been re-imagined and re-written: “The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen” and “Jane Austen’s First Love” both by Syrie James, “The Persuasion of Miss Jane Austen” by Shannon Winslow, and even the Jane Austen Mystery series by Stephanie Barron. The debut novel by Rachel Berman, “Aerenghast: The Lost History of Jane Austen”, had me all anticipation waiting for its release. The premise is by far the most daring and most challenging to undertake: the discovery of a direct line to our dear Miss Austen. Violet Desmond, PHD in British history as well as literature, is driven to discover the truth, not just for the obvious consequences of how the world will forever know this literary treasure but to save her own sanity, and maybe even her own life. But who is covering up this centuries-old secret and why does Violet feel her own life is at stake? And to what benefit?We are privy to Miss Austen’s point-of-view as upon the recent death of Violet’s grandmother, Violet has begun to see Jane in trance-like visions. “Through Violet’s dreams, Austen revealed her life story, only it was much darker than the familiar tale she had just told her students, and Violet felt Jane’s pain and pleasures as acutely as if they were her own. It haunted Violet during the day and hounded her at night as she struggled to understand what was happening. She wondered whether she was going mad and avoided sleep in a desperate attempt to impede the dreams. She did not know why, but something deep down in her sensed that soon she would no longer have the luxury of ignoring them.”
Like so many, Violet had presumed Jane Austen might have used the minutiae in her own life to help construct her novels but after experiencing a heartrending vision, hearing Jane Austen’s own words confirmed as much. “I make a decision to rewrite my story as many times and in as many different ways as I am able until it ends happily—at least for my characters if not for me.”
As the mystery takes us on a wild, and often dangerous chase through England and secret chambers and catacombs, I found I had to re-read certain passages to follow the intricate details that lead to the near cataclysmic finale. But Berman’s thrilling, moving, and wholly satisfying ending left me hopeful about a possible second book. Dauntless first novel from a promising, emerging author.

Aerendgast The Lost History of Jane Austen edition by Berman Rachel DiazLupitou ZoryLee Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Very good story hooked you in to find out the truth.
I'm a big Jane Austen fan, and I loved the unique take on a woman who has been talked about in so many different ways. I really enjoyed the intrigue and mystery of this novel. Plus, there's so many wonderful references to English culture. Aerendgast was such a treat. Highly recommended!
I bought this book in paperback and on the , so I wanted to leave a review in both places. I'm a big Jane Austen fan, and I loved the unique take on a woman who has been talked about in so many different ways. I really enjoyed the intrigue and mystery of this novel. Plus, there's so many wonderful references to English culture. Aerendgast was such a treat. Highly recommended!
A book with lots of life, an intriguing plot and a main character I'd be happy to follow along after for a good number of years. Rachel Berman writes with real assurance. The story is easy to follow even as it juggles multiple time periods, shifting locations and a large cast of characters. I don't know as much about Jane Austen as I should -- or share the protagonist's fixations -- but that didn't prove a hindrance to enjoyment of the book. And now I'll pull "Pride and Predjudice" and "Emma" off the shelf again, while I'm waiting for Violet to charge off on her next adventure.
Wow! What a ride. "Aerendgast The Lost History of Jane Austen" is a page turner, and I could not put it down! The pace is fantastic, and the characters are complex. You have Jane Austen herself, as a ghost or spirit at unrest, Violet Desmond, the British Literature Professor, who the mystery revolves around, Peter the treasure hunter/Archeologist who struggles with his desire to make a come back in the ancient artifacts world, the Desmond family, who promised to protect the Athertons, a crazy villian named Lockhurst, and Everest, a cop and possible villian. All in all, this story is one of the best I've read in years. This book took six years to write, and it shows. The complexity of the story and the historical facts, plus the author's imaginative ones makes this one of the best fan fiction books ever written. Honestly,I will probably reread it, just to catch my breath.
