Surrounded by her busy parents and brothers, Jenny finds a place for her thoughts in the companionship of her older sister, Cassandra. Theirs is a country life full of balls and visits, at which conversation inevitably centers on one topic: marriage. But the arrival of their worldly-wise cousin disrupts Jenny’s world, bringing answers to some of her questions and providing a gem of an idea. Veronica Bennett invites us into a society where propriety and marriage rule hand in hand, a milieu in which Jenny finds inspiration to write the masterpieces Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility — a world where a clever young girl will one day become the beloved Jane Austen.","brand":"Veronica Bennett","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44983831167269,"sku":"9780763634643","price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/7851\/4725\/files\/BNCImageAPI_b2c78d86-3aa5-4384-88ef-2727f75b8d37.jpg?v=1732140523","url":"https:\/\/crossandcrows.myshopify.com\/products\/cassandras-sister-growing-up-jane-austen","provider":"Cross \u0026 Crows Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
