A pretty little love story, based on people that Jane Austen *did* know, and situations which occurred in different ways, but the actual thread of which never did happen. For example, Austen *did* know Lefroy, and *might* have started to form on attachment, but his *aunt*, who was a *friend* of Austen's, moved him along. The period and mores are well done, but Anne Hathaway, lovely though she is as an actor, simply is not believable as Austen.
