Books have always been considered a way for readers to escape into another world, but in An American in Austen, a librarian gets the opportunity of a lifetime after waking up inside a Jane Austen story. The story, featuring Eliza Bennett, Nicholas Bishop and Nell Barlow, is part of the Loveuary event on Hallmark Channel.
Loveuary takes over the whole month of February with a month-long celebration of Jane Austen with three other original movies: Paging Mr. Darcy, Love and Jane and Sense and Sensibility.
