Story
From the best-selling author of Prep, American Wife and Sisterland comes this brilliant retelling of Pride & Prejudice, set in modern-day Cincinnati. The Bennet sisters have been summoned from New York City. Liz and Jane are good daughters. They've come home to suburban Cincinnati to get their mother to stop feeding their father steak as he recovers from heart surgery, to tidy up the crumbling Tudor-style family home and to wrench their three sisters from their various states of arrested development.

I was smiling during the whole story. Witty and modern while taking enough inspiration from the characters and situations of the Austen original. Beautifully narrated.

Atmospheric location but not one of her best
Reviewed: 25-06-23
Enjoyed the situation, the nicely evoked locations and some of the characters. However, as mentioned elsewhere, there is overuse of certain words which gets absolutely irritating.
