‘The Amiable Cassandra’ is the second book of the acclaimed Austen-inspired ‘The Bath Novels of Lady A~’ collection. Most significantly it is the one truly captivating story Jane Austen didn’t write… or did she? Detailing her own eventful life and those of her colorful and complex connections, ‘Lady A~’ renders the ultimate and wholly unique ‘Cinderella’ account of Jane Austen’s history as she might have conceived it—from beginning to end. ‘The Amiable Cassandra’ is a bewitching tale of a gifted author living and working in an entirely fictional Regency mirror-microcosm. Filled with industry, intrigue and willful independence, it takes its heroine, the remarkable and entrancing Miss Cassandra Ashton-Dennis, into a story of passion, perseverance and pain. After encountering the dazzling and worldly John Lascelles, by way of family and friends, Cassandra must engage with the rigors of unerring love, governed by material expectation, and the unequal demands of becoming a celebrated ‘feminist’ novelist in a world managed by men. And as Cassandra determinedly carves out such singular existence, she must face an unseen formidable foe that becomes her greatest challenge to happiness and fulfillment yet…

‘The Amiable Cassandra’ is a must-read for any Janeite yearning for an original story that poignantly resonates of Austen and her incomparable work. Using the Austen ‘formula’, this novel blends documented history, elements of Austen’s most beloved plots-lots, characters and themes alongside the parallel enigmatic history of ‘The Bath Novels of Lady A~’, to create an exceptionally thought-provoking Regency drama. Published purposely in advance of the bicentenary of Jane Austen’s passing in 1817, 'The Amiable Cassandra' celebrates her remarkable life as only she might have wittily imagined it—for herself—for her allies—and, notably, for her enemies.

Janeites Don’t Know What They Are Missing!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 September 2017

Verified Purchase

I can't understand why Janeites aren't absolutely flocking to this book and the whole Bath Novel series, and especially in this 200th anniversary year celebrating Jane Austen's life? You won't find a more fitting tribute to Jane Austen than in this glorious novel. 'The Amiable Cassandra' is a moving, beautifully crafted 'gift' to the Jane whose untimely death robbed us of the novels that could have been. It is impossible not to believe that Jane herself wrote these words and that it is she who is providing the key to what moved her, inspired her, and gave her profound insight into the human soul. Those that are steeped in the life and works of Austen will appreciate the meticulous research and the 'authenticity' of the wonderfully woven plot that is rooted in Jane's own life. It is an absolute pleasure to find it so perfectly rendered by Lady A~, whose writing style is almost spot-on Austen. For those who just love great page-turning emotionally charged fiction, TAC delivers! This is not a pastiche--like the vast majority of those dreadful Austenesque wannabes out there--this is the REAL thing! Buy it or miss out on the best novel since 'Pride and Prejudice'!

Jane Austen lives! - Or does she?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 January 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a hugely enjoyable ride through Jane Austen's world. The author plays all sorts of tricks - imagine if a (fictitious) Jane Austen wrote an autobiography dressed as a novel - this could be it! Those who know Jane Austen's history will have great fun spotting the references to her life and writing, but even those who don't can enjoy what is at heart a moving love story, with a surprising (perhaps?) ending.

Highly Entertaining Tale of Fictional Jane Austen

Reviewed in the United States on 29 May 2017

Verified Purchase

As a fan of the Bath Novels, this second book of the collection was just brilliant. Supposedly crafted by Jane Austen herself, it tells the story of Austen as 'Cassandra Ashton-Dennis', a celebrated (anonymous novelist) who becomes the heroine of her own love story while crafting the books we all know--and those we come to know as the 'Bath Novels'. The protagonists, Cassandra Ashton-Dennis and John Lascelles, are exceptional and the other diverse characters are very engaging; I particularly liked Cassandra's sister, Eliza, and her cousin, Charlotte de Lafayette.This is a highly entertaining must-read for summer.
