In 1814, Austen, aged 38, has had three novels published, including Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice and Mansfield Park.

But a lawsuit against her brother Edward, who owns the house the Austen women live in, threatens this new-found stability, leaving Jane and her family facing potential ruin.
