Over the six months they meet, marriages are tested, affairs begin and unsuitable arrangements become suitable, and, under the guiding eye of Jane Austen some of them even fall in love. They are ordinary people, neither happy nor unhappy, but all wounded in different ways, all mixed up about their lives and relationships. Six people – five women and a man – meet once a month in California's Central Valley to discuss Jane Austen's novels. ![]()
