Kate Beckinsale, Chloe Sevigny, Xavier Samuel, Tom Bennett.
Summary:
The beautiful widow Susan Vernon has come to the estate of her in-laws to wait out colorful rumors about her dalliances circulating through polite society. While there, she decides to secure a husband for herself and her rather reluctant debutante daughter, Frederica. "As adaptations go, this is a match made in heaven."--Washington Post. "What a lovely meeting, a novelist who was ahead of her time and a filmmaker determinedly, irretrievably outside his own. It's like two very different people meeting on a blind date, and suddenly sparks are flying."--San Francisco Chronicle. "The language, a lyrical blend of Jane Austen and Whit Stillman, bewitches even as it stings. A sublime Kate Beckinsale digs into the role of her career. Pure pleasure."--Rolling Stone.
