Miss Austen – A Literary Mystery Unraveled

For decades, one question has lingered in literary circles: Why did Cassandra Austen burn her sister Jane’s letters?

 1840 – Twenty-three years after Jane Austen’s death, Cassandra Austen returns to the village of Kintbury and the vicarage of the Fowles, longtime family friends. Hidden somewhere in its dusty rooms is a cache of letters—letters that could reveal secrets too dangerous to be left unguarded.

As Cassandra sifts through memories of her youth and her deep bond with her brilliant yet enigmatic sister, she begins to piece together the untold truths of Jane’s life—and her own. But as she stands on the precipice of protecting Jane’s legacy or letting history take its course, she must confront the heartbreaking sacrifices, lost loves, and hidden struggles that shaped them both.

Based on a real-life literary mystery, Miss Austen is a beautifully crafted, deeply moving novel that reimagines the sister behind the legend—and the secrets she swore to keep.
