    Miss Austen
    I really enjoyed it (read it on vacation) but did not find it to be long enough!
  • Ilene M. (Longmont, CO)
    Good read for champions of Jane Austen
    I read this book without having any background on the lives of Jane and Cassandra Austen. While the book did a good job of painting a picture of the times in which they lived, I did not find it to be that interesting. It is a well written book and a fast read. I guess that I am just not that interested in the subject matter.

Beyond the Book:
  Cassandra Austen (1773-1845)
