Description
Karen Joy Fowler's charming, warmly observed novel—following six Californians whose book club meeting to read Jane Austen one novel per month becomes the occasion for a series of revelations about their own lives that mirror the novels they are discussing—is one of the most inventive and most enjoyable literary novels produced in the past two decades. Written with genuine affection for both Austen's novels and the characters she has created to encounter them, this is essential reading for every Janeite and every lover of literary fiction with a warm sense of humor. A delightful and intelligent novel.
