Mansfield Park Synopsis

Laced with witty observations about sex, class and money, Rozema incorporates Jane Austen's early letters and journals to create in the heroine Fanny Price some of the qualities of the wickedly observant and witty young author herself.

When a spirited young woman is sent away to live on the great country estate of her rich cousins, she’s meant to learn the ways of proper society, but she also enlightens them with a wit and sparkle all her own.
