A review by berlinbibliophile
Miss Austen by Gill Hornby

emotional reflective sad slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

The bits of Cassandra Austen's life presented here are a bit random and haphazard, but I liked the writing and the idea of the letters. And the very different perceptions of herself she encounters in the past and in the present from her various family-members.
