France Posted February 3 Posted February 3 The BBC 4 part adaptation of Gill Hornby's novel about Cassandra Austen has just started. It launches in May in the US. I thoroughly enjoyed the book when it came out (far more than The Other Bennet Sister which came out at the same time and which, being somewhat melodramatic, overshadowed this quieter book). Based on one episode this is back to what the Beeb does really well, polished drama, impeccable performances, no fancy tricks, stylish and very watchable. If you didn't catch last night's episode, look for it. You're in for a treat. Quote
Madeleine Posted February 3 Posted February 3 I watched it last night, quite enjoyed it, interesting to see a part of Austen's life, albeit speculative, well-acted and beautifully made. Quote
