What would Jane Austen do today if she lived in Sacramento, California? Meet six book club members every bit as preoccupied with the complexities of marriage, friendship, romance, social position and -yes-sex as Jane Austen in Regency England. As six readers work their way through Austen's six novels, you'll detect surprising similarities between their lives and Austen's characters. Recovering from heartbreak? Playing matchmaker? See how well Austen's antidotes for life apply in the 21st century! A hit film-heartwarming and humorous-with an all-star cast including Emily Blunt (Charlie Wilson's War, The Devil Wears Prada), Kathy Baker (Cold Mountain) and Hugh Dancy (Elizabeth I).
