Jane Austen's elder sister, Cassandra, the faithful guardian of her legacy, returns to Kintbury on a secret mission: to find and destroy letters that could tarnish the great writer's impeccable reputation. The rustling of yellowed pages brings the past to life: the carefree laughter of youth, first vows, the voices of departed lovers, the bitterness of irreparable losses, and the secrets the sisters confided only to each other.

With the skill of a historian and the sensitivity of an artist, Jill Hornby paints a faithful picture of the Austen family. Going beyond the traditional biographical novel, the author gives voice to Cassandra, a witness to the formation and blossoming of Jane's unique talent. A magnificent novel about "invisible" labor, inner strength, and boundless love that rewrites the past, leaving only the brightest chapters.
