Book Review: The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler
The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler My review: 3.5 of 5 stars This is one of the few books where I liked the movie better. It was smoother and more engaging.

It is witty, poignant, and clever with characters' layers gradually pealed away in a succession of book discussions … [Read more...] about Book Review: The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler
