For the two decades following the death of her beloved sister, Jane, Cassandra Austen has lived alone and unwed, spending her days visiting friends and relations and quietly, purposefully working to preserve her sister's reputation. Now in her 60s and increasingly frail, Cassandra goes to stay with the Fowles of Kintbury, family of her long-dead fianceÌ, 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 womamn as captivatimng as any Austen heroine. 600 10 $a Austen, Cassandra, $d 1773-1845 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Austen, Jane, $d 1775-1817 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Letters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sisters $v Fiction. 651 0 $a England $x Social life and customs $y 19th century $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Books on compact disc, Unabridged. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Stevenson, Juliet, $e narrator. 941 $a 4 945 $a cdab 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518025524.0 952 $l VTPD454 $d 20200903013338.0 952 $l KQPC446 $d 20200901010225.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200623011144.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F7FE2D6AB51611EAA870BF0297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
