Whoever looked at an elderly
lady and saw the young heroine she once was?
England, 1840. For the two
decades following the death of her beloved sister, Jane, Cassandra Austen has
lived alone, spending her days visiting friends and relations and quietly,
purposefully working to preserve her sister’s reputation. Now in her sixties
and increasingly frail, Cassandra goes to stay with the Fowles of Kintbury,
family of her long-dead fiancé, in search of a trove of Jane’s letters. Dodging
her hostess and a meddlesome housemaid, Cassandra eventually hunts down the
letters and confronts the secrets they hold, secrets not only about Jane but
about Cassandra herself. Will Cassandra bare the most private details of her
life to the world, or commit her sister’s legacy to the flames?
Moving back and forth between
the vicarage and Cassandra’s vibrant memories of her years with Jane,
interwoven with Jane’s brilliantly reimagined lost letters, Miss Austen is the
untold story of the most important person in Jane’s life. With extraordinary
empathy, emotional complexity, and wit, Gill Hornby finally gives Cassandra her
due, bringing to life a woman as captivating as any Austen heroine.
