Book of
the Week
|
Cassandra's Sister:
Growing Up Jane Austen by Veronica
Bennett
Eighteen-year-old Jane
Austen (Jenny) lives with her family in
the English countryside. She and
Cassandra, her older sister and best
friend, feel tremendous pressure to marry.
Cassandra is engaged and waits eagerly for
the day when Tom is financially ready to
take a wife. Jenny, still unattached,
continues to be introduced to available
young men. At a ball, she meets Mr.
Heathcote, a handsome suitor who seems to
take a liking to her. Unfortunately,
another young lady steals his heart and
Jenny is left without a marriage proposal.
Instead of brooding, she takes her
experiences and Cassandra's and
incorporates them into her stories, two of
which are eventually published as Sense
and Sensibility and Pride and
Prejudice.
The book of the week is
available for check out at the library
circulation desk.
