Details

SENSE & SENSIBILITY by Joanna Trollope
Calling all Janeites: grab your chance to reread your favourite Jane Austen books in the company of like-minded readers. Even better, explore the perceptiveness and skill of her writing for the first time.

Why not join Ros and Sue as we immerse ourselves month by month in the delights of Sense & Sensibility, Pride & Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, Sanditon and Lady Susan. We'll also read other authors who have been inspired by Jane's work to create their own versions of her stories: Emma by Alexander McCall Smith, Sense and Sensibility by Joanna Trollope, Northanger Abbey by Val McDermid, Death Comes to Pemberley by P D James, Jane Austen Ruined My Life by Beth Pattillo, Longbourn by Jo Baker and Miss Austen by Gill Hornby (recently dramatised by the BBC).

And if you have any further suggestions for Austen-themed books, do share them with us.

Please bring along £1 (or £12 for the year) as a contribution to Meetup fees - this £1 is only payable by non-IVC fully-paid members (and can be reclaimed if you decide to join the CambsIVC membership group).

Reading choice for Tuesday 13th May: Sense & Sensibility by Joanna Trollope (published 2013).
