Summary:

When artist Colin Ware (Firth) discovers the love of his life and fiancée Vera (Driver), a sexy, sophisticated vixen, is marrying another man, he flees to America and the sleepy New England village of Hope to bury himself in his art and soothe his tortured psyche. Soon he finds more than a shoulder to cry on when he meets Mandy (Graham) a beautiful free spirit who captures his heart--until Vera suddenly shows up with the surprise of Colin's life.

 "The novel's brilliant," says Firth. "It's about a guy, an Englishman, who shows up in a tiny town in New England called Hope, in a desperate state. A couple of friends of mine had spotted it and thought of me." One of the friends was Nick Hornby. It's a torn-between-two-women love story. "The kooky girlfriend is Heather Graham; the ex is Minnie Driver," says Firth, who says he's "really thumbs-up about this one. The character's even called Colin. It did sort of feel like it was waiting for me to step into somehow."
