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?

      In a cultured, melodious voice, narrator Juliet Stevenson becomes Miss Cassandra Austen, older sister to Jane and keeper of her memory. In the course of this fictional biography, Cassandra, at the end of her life, tells the story of her relationship with Jane through letters and reminiscences. The story shifts between the late 1790s and early 1800s and the present of 1840, when Cassandra arrives to help clean out the family parsonage and rescue Jane's letters for posterity. Stevenson portrays the Austen sisters, nieces, and sister-in-law with different tones ranging from soft to stiff, from cultured to bombastic. Fans of Austen will discover echoes of the plots of her famous books, including the heartrending lost chances for love suffered by both Jane and Cassandra. M.B.K.
