Get a sneak peek at MASTERPIECE'S new series with a special screening of episode one of 'Miss Austen'.
'Miss Austen' takes a literary mystery—Cassandra Austen notoriously burning her famous sister Jane’s letters—and reimagines it as a fascinating, witty and heart-breaking story of sisterly love. The drama begins in 1830, a while after Jane has died. Cassandra races to see her friend Isabella 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.
The special screening will be followed by a Q&A with author Gill Hornby and executive producer, Christine Langan and then a book signing by Gill Horbny.
