Central California may be far removed from Regency England, but some things never change
The Jane Austen Book Club, which is released on 16 November, follows an ensemble of present-day friends through the witty prism of their literary heroine.
Six book club members, six interwoven story lines and while the contemporary stories never slavishly parallel the Austen plots, the characters find echoes, predictions, warnings and wisdom about their own trajectories within the great author's beloved narratives.
