Dear Austen friends,
I’m absolutely delighted to bring you some news that I think will set every
Janeite’s heart fluttering — Miss Austen, the long-awaited
mini-series based on Gill Hornby’s best-selling novel, is finally
arriving on your screens! Mark your calendars: this four-part drama premieres Sunday,
May 4, 2025, at 9/8c on MASTERPIECE
on PBS.
Long-time followers of My Jane Austen Book Club will remember when we first featured Miss Austen the novel, a beautifully imagined re-telling of the mystery behind why Cassandra Austen destroyed so many of Jane’s letters. You can read my original review here. I even had the joy of interviewing Gill Hornby in 2022 when her equally enchanting Godmersham Park was released — you can find that interview here!
