Description

Based on Gill Hornby's best-selling novel, Miss Austen takes a literary mystery – Cassandra Austen notoriously burning her famous sister Jane's letters – and reimagines it as a fascinating, witty and heartbreaking story of sisterly love. The drama begins in 1830, several years after Jane has died. Cassandra (Keeley Hawes, The Durrells in Corfu; Line of Duty) races to see her friend Isabella (Rose Leslie, Game of Thrones; Downton Abbey) who is about to lose her home following her father's death. Cassandra is ostensibly there to help, but her real motive is to find a stash of private letters which, in the wrong hands, could destroy Jane's reputation.
