@ElwoodBlues I am a Jane Austen fan. She worked on this book when she was very ill, and finally had to abandon it. The illness soon took her life.
According to what I have read from posts in a Facebook Jane Austen group I belong to, the fragment that Jane left us is portrayed in the first episode or two, and the rest of the series is a modern creation.
Before the series, a few authors published their "completions" of the book, attempting to stay true to Jane's style.
The fragment has tantalized Austen fans for two centuries.
