Delve into the gorgeous Regency era with bestselling author Gill Hornby as she discusses her most recent look at the world of the Austens, this time through the story of Jane’s friend, Anne Sharp. The Sunday Times Bestseller Godmersham Park has been described as a triumph, absorbing and illuminating, thoroughly entertaining and elegant, everything that a book about the Austens should be. Created from the diaries of Fanny Austen held at Maidstone’s very own Kent Archives, Godmersham Park is an imagining of what might have been, of stories untold and lives kept hidden.
