Miss Austen | May 2025

In 1830, Cassandra Austen arrives in Kintbury after hearing of her friend Eliza's husband's impending death. But her true motive becomes clear: Cassandra is searching for the letters her sister Jane wrote to Eliza throughout their friendship.
Cassandra's determination to keep Jane's letters private is joined by a second objective: securing a home for Isabella. After a trip to town, Cassandra falls ill, and the past comes crashing in with her recollections of the difficult years.
Through her feverish delirium, Cassandra guards Jane's letters from Mary Austen. As she drifts in and out of consciousness, she relives the dramatic events of her youth. Once better, Cassandra takes drastic action to secure Isabella's future.
Cassandra uncovers the truth about Isabella and Lidderdale's past. Dinah makes a reckless decision. Upon arriving back at Chawton, Cassandra takes a final step to protect Jane's legacy.
