The Unexpected Past of Miss Jane Austen: A page-turning story of adventure, friendship and family

After becoming trapped in present-day Bath due to a mishap with her time-travelling charm, Jane Austen is safe and sound back in the 1800s thanks to Roses help. Now, Rose is ready to focus on her fledgling romance with dreamy Dr Aiden Trevellyan.

But when Jane reappears in the present, it looks like Rose and Aiden have no choice but to follow her back to 1813

Staying in the Austen household, Rose and Aiden are introduced to a number of interesting figures from the past, including Janes eccentric and surprisingly modern neighbour. Suddenly Roses life is in need of a re-write as she discovers some unexpected ties to Jane Austen's world and her past.

The sequel to The Particular Charm of Miss Jane Austen is perfect for fans of Victoria Connelly's Austen Addicts series and The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler.

The mix of historical fiction, romance and time travel works perfectly and this novel is entertaining and unputdownable. 5* Reader review

It felt as if I had been let into the home of Jane Austen herself and was allowed glimpses of how her life would have been lived. A fabulous and well-written read. 5* Reader review

This book was as entertaining and funny as the first book ... It was full of historical tidbits about the properties surrounding Janes home in Chawton village. It made me want to pay it a visit! 5* Reader review

I absolutely adored this book. Roses budding romance with Aiden kept me smiling while her emerging past kept me crying. Read it if you like Jane Austen, if you like to laugh and cry with the characters. 5* Reader review

The Unexpected Past of Miss Jane Austen is a perfect sequel to book one, the characters develop and relationships are tested. Rose is a wonderfully inviting character and the book exudes warmth, surprise and toil in spades. 5* Reader review

I really loved reading this, as much as the first in the series. The characters are well developed, the plot is interesting and the minor cliffhanger makes me hope for a third book in this series. The book is also hilarious at times and I did laugh out loud. 5* Reader review
