Miss Austen

1830: Cassandra Austen is told that her dearest friend Eliza’s husband Fulwar now lies on his deathbed. Cassandra is met with a cool reception but soon forms a bond with Fulwar’s daughter Isabella. Cassandra finds an opportunity to search the house, and discovers the letters her sister Jane wrote to Eliza. Cassandra is keen that the private correspondence should not fall into the wrong hands.

Cassandra’s determination to keep Jane’s letters private is stronger than ever and is joined by a second objective: to secure a home for Isabella. But Cassandra begins to feel unwell, and the past comes crashing in with her recollections of the difficult years after her fiancé Tom’s death and the uncomfortable turn of events that followed at her brother’s grand estate in Kent.
