Funny,wry,heartwarming writing which slowly draws you into its circle of human and idiosyncratic group of people. While exploring Jane Austen's books through the club, one also gets to know the members, their histories and connections. It's a subtle, quiet book and as I was on holiday in New Zealand, I read it alongside a contrasting book Bergdorf Blondes, which was louder, brighter. I will re-read this book after I've re-read the Jane Austen books.

The Jane Austen Book Club - Karen Joy Fowler
