The Jane Austen Book Club

by Karen Joy Fowler

Six people, five women and a man, meet once a month in California's Central Valley to discuss Jane Austen's novels. They are ordinary people, neither happy nor unhappy, but each of them is wounded in different ways, they are all mixed up about their lives and relationships. Over the six months they meet, marriages are tested, affairs begin, unsuitable arrangements become suitable, under the guiding eye of Jane Austen a couple of them even fall in love?

I just listened to the first CD and I'm not sure that I will ever attempt to listen/read the rest of this book. It's just too sexy for me. I'm just not into that kind of thing being in my plots. Although, I do love Jane Austen, I just couldn't get past the junk to get to her importance here.
