Success! After many hackneyed and leaden romcom film offerings I really loved The Jane Austen Book Club. A group of women (and one man) form a book club to ponder their lives and discuss Jane Austen's books. Each character is allocated one of her novels to discuss in the club, which seems to reflect their life. Through their reading and discussions they come to understand their lives and relationships better.
A varied group of characters, witty dialogue and great actors make this a satisfying watch where you really care, there’s also the book by Karen Joy Fowler which I might have to read too.
My favourite Jane Austen is Persuasion, with a close second for Pride and Prejudice. I’m not sure what that says about me....
