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.

圖書標籤: Jane·Austen BookClub 簡·奧斯丁 小說 JaneAusten 美國 原版美國小說 單身女子
美國作傢總是不滿足於簡單愛情輕喜劇,野心勃勃,要寫人性、性彆矛盾、人生掙紮。可惜沒有簡小姐的字字珠璣,幽默犀利。是本平庸而無趣的書。
評分Happy ending
評分it is thoroughly enjoyable even to someone who has never read Austen
評分有點作
評分其實和austen沒什麼關係,讀她的書隻是讓主人公們聚在一起的理由罷瞭……講的都是普通的人的普通生活,愛情、童年經曆、科幻小說。最喜歡Jocelyn,她在決定自己喜歡Grigg之前要先看自己是否喜歡Grigg推薦的科幻小說,而不是僅僅因為Grigg喜歡自己就“反喜歡”迴去,這一點很棒!
