For six months, the book club meets over friendly drinks and fancy dinners to discuss and debate each of Austen??™s classics, opening themselves up in th... e process to new challenges and friendships. While their stories never completely parallel Austen??™s plots, over time the six members find echoes, predictions, warnings and wisdom about their own personal and romantic lives within Austen??™s beloved narratives and characters.
