Recreando las cartas desaparecidas de Jane Austen, Cassandra Austen vuelve a la vida y lo hace para contar su historia, tan cautivadora como desconocida. Inglaterra, 1840. Cassandra Austen ha vivido más de dos décadas tras la muerte de su querida hermana Jane. Ha pasado el tiempo visitando a amigos y parientes y trabajando en silencio, determinada a mantener la reputación de su hermana. Con más de sesenta años y una salud frágil, decide irse a vivir con los Fowle de Kintbury, la familia del que fue su prometido, fallecido hace muchos años, cuando ambos eran jóvenes. Quiere encontrar las cartas que Jane Austen dejó, esquivando a su anfitriona y a una criada entrometida. Cuando finalmente las halla, se enfrenta a los secretos que guardan, no solo sobre su hermana Jane, sino sobre ella misma. ¿Las guardará y legará su historia a futuras generaciones o las entregará a las llamas?

A #1 International Bestseller "A deeply imagined and deeply moving novel. Reading it made me happy and weepy in equally copious amounts.” —Karen Joy Fowler "You can’t help feeling that Jane would have approved.” —The Guardian For fans of Jo Baker’s Longbourn, a witty, wonderfully original novel about Cassandra Austen and her famous sister, Jane. Whoever looked at an elderly lady and saw the young heroine she once was? England, 1840. Two decades after the death of her beloved sister, Jane, Cassandra Austen returns to the village of Kintbury and the home of her family friends, the Fowles. In a dusty corner of the vicarage, there is a cache of Jane’s letters that Cassandra is desperate to find. 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.

The Sunday Times bestselling novel, set to be a major TV drama series. 'You can't help feeling that Jane would have approved.' OBSERVER 'So good, so intelligent, so clever, so entertaining - I adored it.' CLAIRE TOMALIN ________________________ Throughout her lifetime, Jane Austen wrote countless letters to her sister. But why did Cassandra burn them all? 1840: twenty three years after the death of her famous sister Jane, Cassandra Austen returns to the village of Kintbury, and the home of her family's friends, the Fowles. She knows that, in some dusty corner of the sprawling vicarage, there is a cache of family letters which hold secrets she can never allow to be revealed. As Cassandra recalls her youth and her relationship with her brilliant yet complex sister, she pieces together buried truths about Jane's history, and her own. And she faces a stark choice: should she act to protect Jane's reputation, or leave the contents of the letters to go unguarded into posterity? Based on a literary mystery that has long puzzled biographers and academics, Miss Austen is a wonderfully original and emotionally complex novel about the loves and lives of Cassandra and Jane Austen. ________________________ 'The perfect book to wrap yourself around on a dark night' STYLIST 'Without romanticising its period setting or underplaying the precariousness of any woman's position in this society, it celebrates unexamined lives, sisterhood and virtues such as kindness and loyalty' SUNDAY TIMES 'This is a deeply imagined and deeply moving novel. Reading it made me happy and weepy in equally copious amounts.' KAREN JOY FOWLER, author of The Jane Austen Bookclub 'It won't surprise me if this is one of the books of the year. It's a delight, one of those that you don't want to end.' RTE 'A charming novel... capturing the spirit of the brilliant sardonic Jane, and reminding the reader of how brutal life was for women in Austen's era, it's an ingenious and affecting embroidery on the fact of the author's life.' SUNDAY MIRROR 'Miss Austen is ingenious ... With flashbacks and wonderful domestic detail, Hornby brings to life the Austen family, using the known to speculate on what might have been.' THE TIMES Audio Book of the Week 'Extraordinary and heart-wrenching, Miss Austen transported me from page one. A gift to all Austen lovers.' LARA PRESCOTT, author of The Secrets We Kept 'Gill Hornby ingeniously imagines what Cassandra Austen's own life might have been like, both before and after Jane's untimely death, casting a different light on the familiar biographical picture without in any way distorting it.' DEIRDRE LE FAYE, editor of Jane Austen's Letters 'Tender and touching ... Hornby deftly describes the psychological toll that such uncertainly took on Jane, and movingly celebrates the fortitude of Cassandra whose greatest love was her sister' DAILY MAIL 'Utterly absorbing. The lives of the Austen sisters are recreated with a brilliant sureness of touch that can only be achieved by deep study of the period.' ARTEMIS COOPER 'Delightful... It reads just like an Austen novel so you get the double whammy of being a new book with an old feel' SUE RYAN, founder of Henley Lit Fest

For Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice fans everywhere, this is Mary Bennet's story . . . 'Will delight Pride and Prejudice fans' - Independent 'It's difficult not to race through those final pages' – Jo Baker, author of Longbourn In Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Mary is the middle of the five Bennet girls and the plainest of them all, so what hope does she have? Prim and pious, with no redeeming features, she is unloved and seemingly unlovable. The Other Bennet Sister, though, shows another side to Mary. An introvert in a family of extroverts; a constant disappointment to her mother who values beauty above all else; fearful of her father’s sharp tongue; with little in common with her siblings – is it any wonder she turns to books for both company and guidance? And, if she finds her life lonely or lacking, that she determines to try harder at the one thing she can be: right. One by one, her sisters marry – Jane and Lizzy for love; Lydia for some semblance of respectability – but Mary, it seems, is destined to remain single and live out her life at Longbourn, at least until her father dies and the house is bequeathed to the reviled Mr Collins. But when that fateful day finally comes, she slowly discovers that perhaps there is hope for her, after all. Simultaneously a wonderfully warm homage to Jane Austen and a delightful new story in its own right, Janice Hadlow's The Other Bennet Sister is, at its heart, a life-affirming tale of a young woman finding her place in the world. Witty and uplifting, it will make you feel – and cheer – for Mary as you never have before.

« Un roman inventif et profondément émouvant. J'ai autant ri que pleuré. » Karen Joy Fowler « Maintenant que le moment approchait, elle sentait flancher sa résolution. Elle s'empara des lettres de Jane. N'aurait-elle pas dû éprouver une profonde joie à l'idée de renouer avec sa soeur quelques heures durant ? Et pourtant, cette perspective la faisait frémir. Elle se laissa lourdement choir contre le coussin trop dur. Cela aurait été tellement plus simple de s'en tenir au présent pour les années qui lui restaient à vivre, sans se replonger dans le passé. » En 1840, plus de vingt ans après la mort de Jane Austen, sa soeur, Cassandra, retourne dans le village de Kintbury pour séjourner chez Elizabeth Fowle, une amie de la famille. Elle sait que la correspondance d'Elizabeth, cachée dans un recoin du presbytère, contient de nombreuses lettres de Jane et probablement des secrets de famille qu'elle veut à tout prix protéger. Tout en se remémorant sa jeunesse et ses relations avec sa soeur adorée, elle isole les lettres les plus intimes. Elle se trouve alors devant un choix difficile : les détruire pour protéger la réputation de Jane, ou bien permettre à la postérité de savourer l'esprit brillant et acéré d'une autrice disparue trop jeune. Inspiré par un mystère littéraire qui a longtemps intrigué les biographes et les universitaires, Miss Austen est un roman original, intense et complexe, sur les amours et la vie de Cassandra et Jane Austen. « Extraordinaire et déchirant, Miss Austenm'a transportée depuis la toute première page. Un roman remarquable, à la fois original, profondément émouvant et d'une grande finesse. Un cadeau pour tous les amoureux de Jane Austen. » Lara Prescott « Un roman parfait, tendre, avec une atmosphère particulière. Gill Hornby était destinée à écrire l'histoire de Cassandra et s'y est attelée avec toute sa finesse et sa sensibilité. » Kirsty Wark « Totalement absorbant. La vie des soeurs Austen est évoquée avec une précision et une assurance témoignant d'une connaissance approfondie de l'époque. » Artemis Cooper « Gill Hornby imagine avec finesse la vie de Cassandra Austen, avant et après la mort prématurée de sa soeur Jane, apportant une lumière originale sur le tableau biographique que nous connaissons, sans pour autant le déformer. » Deirdre Le Faye « Miss Austen émeut, suscite la réflexion et nous oblige à voir Jane et Cassandra Austen sous un jour nouveau. » Helena Kelly « Un livre intelligent, plein d'esprit, divertissant. J'ai adoré. » Claire Tomalin
