The Jane Austen Book Club

The Jane Austen Book Club

by KarenJoyFowler (Author)

Synopsis

Six people - five women and a man - meet once a month in California's Central Valley to discuss Jane Austen's novels. They are ordinary people, neither happy nor unhappy, but each of them is wounded in different ways, they are all mixed up about their lives and relationships. Over the six months they meet, marriages are tested, affairs begin, unsuitable arrangements become suitable - under the guiding eye of Jane Austen a couple of them even fall in love... I was enchanted. A charming and intelligent read, with the best appendix I've come across since Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - Kate Long, author of The Bad Mother's Handbook .

Media Reviews
Fowler has a voice like no other, lyrical, shrewd and addictive, with a quiet deadpan humor that underlies almost every sentence.
