A review by situationnormal
Miss Austen by Gill Hornby

4.0

Ever since I read all of the Austen books a few years ago, I've had an itch that can only be scratched by more Jane Austen-adjacent books, and this one did a good job at scratching that itch. I enjoyed the (antiquated, but familiar and charming) writing style and the echos back to her books, but mostly I enjoyed reading about her as a character. All of that said, Cassie steals the show here--I loved the way the novel was structured, with her as an old(er) lady and then glimpses into her past through letters.
