Le club Jane Austen

**The Extraordinary _New York Times_ Bestseller**

In California's central valley, five women and one man join to discuss Jane

Austen's novels. Over the six months they get together, marriages are tested,

affairs begin, unsuitable arrangements become suitable, and love happens. With

her eye for the frailties of human behavior and her ear for the absurdities of

social intercourse, Karen Joy Fowler has never been wittier nor her characters

more appealing. The result is a delicious dissection of modern relationships.

Dedicated Austenites will delight in unearthing the echoes of Austen that run

through the novel, but most readers will simply enjoy the vision and voice

that, despite two centuries of separation, unite two great writers of

brilliant social comedy.
