Miss Austen on ABC and ABC iview S1E4 – As Cassandra prepares to leave Kintbury for the last time, she delves into correspondence from Jane’s final years.
The odious Mr Dundas and his wife prepare to move into the Kintbury vicarage, and as Cassandra prepares to leave Kintbury for the last time, she delves into correspondence from Jane’s final years.
The letters reveal her sister’s struggle to keep writing, as the family’s fortunes – and Jane’s mental and physical health – go into an alarming decline.
Amid these very private recollections – to be kept safe from Mary Austen’s prying eyes at all costs – are young Cassandra’s own letters, which tell a heartbreaking story of what she sacrificed in her own life, in order to support her sister.
