From Swank, "A headstrong, high-spirited, and privileged young woman severely overestimates her matchmaking abilities as she meddles in the romantic lives of people in her small and sleepy English town during the 1800s. Hard-won knowledge about the intricacies of love compels her to reconsider her vow never to marry."
