Mi tía Jane : La primera biografía de Jane Austen

July 1817: Edward Austen attends his Aunt Jane's funeral, unaware that this moment will be the start of an extraordinary quest. When his Uncle Henry publicly reveals that Jane Austen was the author of Pride and Prejudice and Emma, ​​the family is forced to protect her legacy in an unexpected way. Driven by curiosity and affection, Edward embarks on an intimate journey through memories, testimonies, and family secrets that transcend literature. Through conversations with his Aunt Cassandra—who has burned the most compromising letters—and other relatives, Edward reconstructs the life of a rebellious and profoundly human woman. He discovers thwarted romances, the existence of a hidden brother with a disability, and the painful decisions that shaped the Austen family, revealing a Jane far more complex than the world imagines. Espido Freire transports us to Georgian England, where women struggled to find their place and family was both refuge and keeper of secrets. From the salons of Bath to Chawton Cottage, the author weaves together history, family drama, and humor to offer an intimate portrait of the Austen family. The novel explores themes such as sibling relationships, personal sacrifices, female education, and the struggle for creative freedom in a restrictive society.
