This book takes the story lines from Jane Austen's books and generates a grand story from them. This is a book that Austen lovers will read several times and not get bored. I have read my copy four times since I got it.

Must read Jane Austen first
When I began reading The Jane Austen Book Club , I quickly realized that it would have much more meaning for me if I read (reread) the Jane Austen books again. So, I have put it aside and am reading Sense and Sensibility at the moment. Pride and Prejudice and Emma are awaiting....

What a disappointment!
Having read Mansfield Park a couple of months ago, our book club thought it would be fun to read this book. I'm sure each of us wanted to find someone in the fictional book club with whom we might identify.
I read the first pages but couldn't identify with the characters, much less like them. When the lesbian relationship was mentioned, I tried to ignore it. When the text began to go into detail about the relationship, I decided I had had enough. I had to toss the book and call it a waste of money. It's not even a book I could give away.
