Lena Dunham is doing her best to recover from a broken heart.

For her, that process has involved a major move: The Girls actor is living in Wales while filming a new project, an experience that she has found very healing.

The actor and author joked during an appearance on the The Jonathan Ross Show on Saturday night that the Welsh countryside made her feel like she was an English novelist.

It was so cozy, there were sheep all around us. Im from New York City. Ive never even been above 14th street. Suddenly Im in Wales sitting in a turret in a little castle like Im freaking Charlotte Bront, Dunham said to laughs from the audience. The whole thing was so romantic. I was recovering from a broken heart. So thats where you go.

The Not That Kind of Girl writer split from her longtime boyfriend , musician Jack Antonoff, in December 2017 after five years of dating. Since their split, Antonoff has been linked to model and photographer Carlotta Kohl .
