| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Today's central California may be far removed from Regency
England, but some things never change. We're still every bit
as preoccupied with the complexities of marriage, friendship,
romantic entanglements, position, and social manners and mores
as was Jane Austen at the turn of the 1800s. THE JANE AUSTEN
BOOK CLUB reveals the lives of an ensemble of present-day
friends through the witty prism of their literary heroine.
Six book club members (KATHY BAKER, MARIA BELLO, EMILY BLUNT,
AMY BRENNEMAN, HUGH DANCY, MAGGIE GRACE), six Austen books,
six interwoven story lines over six months in the busy modern
setting of Sacramento, where city and suburban sprawl meet
natural beauty. While the contemporary stories never slavishly
parallel the Austen plots, the six characters find echoes,
predictions, warnings and wisdom about their own trajectories
within Austen's beloved narratives.
