Review: Miss Austen

Miss Austen by Gill Hornby
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the (fictional) story of Jane Austen's letters to a close friend where she confided details (good and bad) of her life. Jane's sister Cassandra, wants to protect her sister's memory/reputation and invites herself for a visit to Isabel (her mother was the friend and was also the sister to Cassandra's deceased fiance). While there she looks for the letters and helps pack/sort out Isabel's placement (to be a single, unmarried woman, the horror!).
This had a slow start, but did pick up.
