Five women and one man come together to discuss the works of literary luminary Jane Austen, only to find their love lives playing out much like a contemporary version of her work in director Robin Swicord's adaptation of Karen Joy Fowler's best-selling novel. Maria Bello, Emily Blunt, Hugh Dancy, Kathy Baker, Lynn Redgrave, and Jimmy Smits star in a romantic drama in which the times may change, but love remains the same.
