The MovieSite — The Jane Austen Book Club

The Jane Austen Book Club

You don't have to know the books to be in the club.

A group of five women and one man create a club to discuss the six novels written by Jane Austen. As time goes by, and each book is discussed, we come to realise that the stories in the books are mirrored in the lives of the club members. As they try to sort out their problems and love lives, they seek inspiration and guidance from Austen's works.
