Today, up-country California may be far enough from English dominance, but some things never change. Californians are to this day concerned with the complexities of marriage, friendship, of romantic relationships, social position and good manners – just as they were in Jane Austen’s time in the mid eighteen hundreds. Life for a group of friends today is described from the caustic point of view of the literary heroine. Six members of a book club, six Austen novels, six stories intertwined over the course of six months in the modern and populated setting of Sacramento where city and quiet suburb make for natural beauty. Even if their stories are not really like those of Austen’s time, the six characters find similarities, prognoses, wisdom, and advice in the writer`s much-loved narrative.
