Summary: A group of six friends, in Sacramento, gather to distract themselves from loss – a newly dumped Sylvia, Prudie’s repressed disappointment, or Jocelyn, who has a life of unrealized dreams. All are devoted Jane Austen fans, except the lone man, Grigg, who has an ulterior motive for joining the chick-lit gang. There’s plenty of pride (Prudie), prejudice (Jocelyn), sense (Sylvia), and sensibility (Sylvia’s daughter Allegra). Throw in a fair amount of persuasion. Relationships and alliances unfold over the months.
