The Jane Austen Book Club

by Karen Joy Fowler

The plot of this witty novel revolves around six Californians who decide to read an Austen novel every month. Fowler observes that "each of us has an inner Austen" and proves her point by fleshing out the lives of her characters while making clever allusions to Austen's works. A familiarity with "Emma," "Pride and Prejudice" or "Sense and Sensibility" helps but is not essential; Fowler provides plot summaries.
