Today’s central California may be far
removed from Regency England, but some things never change.
We’re still every bit as preoccupied with the complexities
of marriage, friendship, romantic entanglements, position,
and social manners and mores as was Jane Austen at the turn
of the 1800s. THE JANE AUSTEN BOOK CLUB reveals the lives of
an ensemble of present-day friends through the witty prism
of their literary
heroine.
Six book club members, six Austen books, six interwoven
story lines over six months in the busy modern setting of
Sacramento, where city and suburban sprawl meet natural
beauty. While the contemporary stories never slavishly
parallel the Austen plots, the six characters find echoes,
predictions, warnings and wisdom about their own
trajectories within Austen’s beloved narratives.
