A review by linneaeldblomelg
Miss Austen by Gill Hornby

4.0

In times of crisis, one needs to have good books to read and this is one of those. Focus here is on Cassandra, the sister who was once engaged but never got to marry and stayed with Jane her entire life. She is also the culprit who burned the letters which will forever make us wonder who Jane was really like. Gill Hornby give her a voice and makes her a very interesting heroine. In a way, I am glad that Cassandra burned those letters because Jane will always be more interesting as a mystery. To think that Cassandra maybe understood the popularity her sister would have today! Anyway, a must read for every Janeite like myself.
