MISS AUSTEN takes a historic literary mystery — the notorious burning of Jane Austen’s letters by her sister Cassandra — and reimagines it as a fascinating, witty and heart-breaking story of sisterly love, while creating in Cassandra a character as captivating as any Austen heroine.
Based on Gill Hornby’s best-selling novel, this period drama brings a fresh and intimate perspective to the Austen sisters’ lives — their joys, heartaches and the passions that would shape Jane’s iconic novels.
