The faithful guardian of Jane Austen's legacy, her elder sister Cassandra, returns to Kintbury on a secret mission — to find and destroy letters that could cast a shadow on the impeccable reputation of the great writer. In the rustle...
of yellowed pages, the past comes alive: the carefree laughter of youth, first vows, voices of departed lovers, the bitterness of irretrievable losses, and the secrets that the sisters entrusted only to each other.
Jill Hornby, with the skill of a historian and the sensitivity of an artist, paints a truthful picture of the Austen family's life. Going beyond the traditional biographical novel, the author gives a voice to Cassandra — a witness to the formation and flourishing of Jane's unique talent. A magnificent novel about the "invisible" work, inner strength, and boundless love that rewrites the past, leaving only the brightest chapters.
