"Charming in an immediate, earthy way." - Boyd van Hoeij, Screen International
Opens May 23 | Aspiring novelist Agathe works in a bookstore, and hasn’t had a date in two years; her only relationship is with Felix, her charming colleague and best friend. When Felix secretly submits Agathe’s work to the Jane Austen Society, she is accepted to their residency and, with a bit of prodding, agrees to go. As she leaves, Agathe and Felix share a kiss, so at the residency, when she finds herself drawn to Oliver, the great, great, great (great) nephew of Austen, Agathe is caught up in a romantic dilemma straight out of an Austen novel. Laura Piani’s debut is a delightfully witty tale of contemporary love, perfect for hopeless romantics and literature lovers alike.
