Description
A group of six friends, in Sacramento, gather to distract themselves from loss: a newly dumped Sylvia, Prudie's repressed disappointment, and Jocelyn, who has a life of unrealized dreams. All are devoted Jane Austen fans, except the lone man, Grigg, who has an ulterior motive for joining the chick-lit gang. There's plenty of pride (Prudie), prejudice (Jocelyn), sense (Sylvia), and sensibility (Sylvia's daughter Allegra). Throw in a fair amount of persuasion, as relationships and alliances unfold over the months
