TICKETS ON GENERAL SALE 29 AUGUSTThe Summer Jane Austen Fell in Love
A revelation made by Jane Austen’s sister, ten years after her death, gestures to a brief, intense relationship one Summer holiday. Paula Byrne tells the story of this encounter, dramatising what has been lost to history. Jane’s relationship with two, very different, men brings about unexpected surprises; by Summer’s end, the course of her life will have changed forever. Set against the backdrop of Austen’s family, the tensions of the Napoleonic Wars, and naval and colonial politics, Byrne’s novel is the story of how our most celebrated romance writer first fell in love.
In conversation with Jo Willett.
