Admittedly, those with an in depth knowledge of the six books under discussion would no doubt enjoy it the most; but even those of us who at least recognise Pride and Prejudice will get the way her plots are woven into the characters' stories. Good ensemble cast with Kathy Baker (Last Chance Harvey, Take Shelter, Cold Mountain, The Cider House Rules) the unofficial leader of the group, Maria Bello as a lady who doesn't want to get involved (she was in Towelhead, Thank You For Smoking and ER) and Emily Blunt as an uptight French teacher. Rest of group: Amy Brenneman, Maggie Grace and Hugh Dancy.
Everyone including me is impressed in the way Dancy's character has read one of the books - the Gothic 'Mysteries of Udolpho' - which features in Northanger Abbey.
Karen Joy Fowler wrote the book. John Toon shot it and Maryann Brandon edited.
