Jane Austen: A Truth Universally Acknowledged Book Club

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by Jane Austen
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: among others, Emma by Alexander McCall Smith, Northanger Abbey by Val McDermid, Jane Austen Ruined My Life by Beth Pattillo, Longbourn by Jo Baker, The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler and Death Comes to Pemberley by P D James (previously 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-fully-paid members of IVC (and can be reclaimed if you decide to join the CambsIVC membership group).
