Storyline
The book club is the brainchild of fiftysomething six-time divorcée Bernadette, who develops the idea when she meets Prudie, a prim, married high school French teacher in her mid-20s, at a Jane Austen film festival. Bernadette plans to have six members discuss all of Austen’s six novels, with each member hosting the group once a month.

“I’m always frustrated when somebody makes a movie out of a book and they leave the book behind, or the heart of it.”
