As a devoted admirer, I’m thrilled to share that PBS has unveiled the trailer for the upcoming period drama titled “Miss Austen.” This series is inspired by Gill Hornby’s novel and focuses on Cassandra Austen, delving into her compelling decision to burn Jane Austen’s letters following the esteemed author’s passing.

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but ponder over the poignant truth that Cassandra Austen chose to destroy her celebrated sister Jane’s personal letters – a decision shrouded in mystery. The captivating mini-series, Miss Austen, explores this dramatic action and weaves an emotional narrative around the romantic journeys and heartaches of both the Austen sisters.
