The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler

This is a book for Jane Austen fans, which I am, so I loved it. It follows the lives of 5 women and 1 man while they come together for a book club that is “all Jane Austen, all the time.” The club is formed to help a member through a recentĀ separationĀ and impending divorce, 6 members for the 6 Austen novels, all fans, except Grigg the only man in the club who has also never read an Austen novel before. The help each other through the ups and downs of life and when all else fails they turn to Austen. Each chapter follows a different group member,giving their background and clues as to why they are the way they are. This book explores all kinds of relationships and shows that even though hundreds of years have past it’s still all the same thing, just with better technology.
