The Three Weissmans of Westport by Cathleen Schine

After reading other reviews of this novel,  I guess I need to read Sense and Sensibility again in order to appreciate this one.  But I DID appreciate it, even without a reminder of the close correlation between the Jane Austen book and this one.
The characters Betty, Miranda and Annie are interesting and human. Betty, the mother, has just been left by her husband of 40 plus years. She moves from NYC to Westport, CT into a cottage owned by her Uncle Lou and is joined by her two daughters.  Their "adventures" are described in detail in this entertaining novel that is full of humor, satire and pathos.
