Jane Austen (Anne Hathaway) illuminates the world with her words, wit and wisdom. And her life is also full of passion and love. Twenty-year-old Jane meets Tom Lefroy (James McAvoy) in 1796. Their relationship became a real-life legend, and the love story became the greatest book of her life. In British society at the time, getting married for love was a stupid game. Money determines the functioning of the entire hierarchical world. The Austins, when they married off their youngest daughter, knew this all too well. It's just that Jane has made up her mind. She is spiritually independent and arrogant, and coupled with the arrogance and prejudice of young people, she decides to marry for love. Even so, the parents hope to choose a rich and promising husband for Jane. Ideally, Mr Wesley, the nephew of the local aristocrat, the famous and very wealthy Mrs Grisham (Maggie Smith) Although they did everything possible to make it happen, they were rejected outright. She later met Tom Lefroy, a young Irishman. He was a trainee solicitor who came to Hampshire from London with Jane's brother Henry. He was handsome, intelligent, but also very poor. He has no interest in the simple and unadorned country life. But soon found a Jane Austen who was in sympathy with her. The two have found countless common interests with each other. They chatted in the woods, they danced at the crowded ball. She excelled at cricket and he gave her Tom Jones to read. The two fell in love. But they were being watched all the time. Mrs Gresham looked at it coldly, while Wesley remained hopeful. The opposition of parents and relatives forced the two to make a decision. Tom proposes to elope, and the consequences will obviously be disastrous. Jane's family's financial situation is not good, and she will face poverty and humiliation. Lefroy's family in Ireland is also counting on him to get ahead. If they choose to flee, everything will be destroyed: family, friends and wealth.
