I saw the movie made from this book and just loved the story! It is about two sisters that find themselves in odd circumstances after the men they were intending to marry desert them, and basically, as it says on the back, "the stage is set for a delicious comedy of manners that not only showcases Austen's perception, humor and incomparable prose, but offers a splendid glimpse of upper and middle-class English society of the early 19th century." The novel is "widely admired for (its) satiric wit, subtlety and perfection of style." I loved Pride and Prejudice, another great book written in similar vein.

Released this book to a fellow BCer in IL - hope you enjoy it :)

Received today! Thanks for the trade!

To go to BookGroupMan or possible bookring when I'm done.

Scratch that -- BookGroupMan no longer interested.
