In 1804, Anne Sharpe arrives at Godmersham Park in Kent to take up the position of governess. At 31 years old, she has nowhere else to go. When Mr Edward Austen's family comes to stay, Anne forms an immediate attachment to Jane. They write plays together and enjoy long discussions. Meanwhile Jane's brother, Henry, begins to take an unusually strong interest in the lovely young governess.
