We’re celebrating the release of the romantic comedy drama The Jane Austen Book Club, at cinemas from November 16 (certificate 12A), by offering 5 lucky winners the chance to win some yummy prizes! 5 lucky winners will each receive a package comprising: A copy of the novel The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler AND a set of the full past Jane Austen books, namely: Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, Mansfield Park, Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility and Emma (Penguin Books) PLUS a hamper of delicious chocolates from Bendicks, worth over £25.00!  In modern-day California, five women and one enigmatic man meet to discuss the works of Jane Austen and find their love lives playing out in a 21st century version of her novels. Sylvia (Brenneman) is shocked when her husband Daniel (Smits) leaves her after 20+ years & 3 children. Jocelyn (Bello), her unmarried best friend, distracts herself from her unacknowledged loneliness by breeding dogs. Prudie (Blunt) is a young French teacher, in possession of a worthy husband yet distracted by persistent fantasies about sex with another man. The many-times married Bernadette (Baker) develops a yearning for one more chance at happiness. Beautiful, risk taking Allegra (Grace), Sylvia & Daniel’s lesbian daughter, has quit speaking to her lover. And Grigg (Dancy), a young science fiction fan & computer whiz, seems both horribly out of place and obliviously at ease as the only man to be invited into the book circle. Based on the critically acclaimed novel of the same name by Karen Joy Fowler. The film is directed by Robin Swicord and stars Kathy Baker, Maria Bello, Marc Blucas, Emily Blunt, Hugh Dancy, Lynn Redgrave, Jimmy Smits and Amy Brenneman. www.janeaustenbookclub.co.uk ‘If I could eat this book I would’ Alice Sebold The Jane Austen Book Club was written by Karen Joy Fowler and published to great acclaim in 2005.
