Curtis Sittenfeld has updated "Pride and Prejudice" into an entirely enjoyable and humorous escape novel that I LOVED reading! She brings in timely topics such as health care, transgender and interracial relationships, CrossFit, artificial insemination, and reality TV. The characters are sometimes comic-book like, but weren't Jane Austen's as well?
I really like this author and was so excited when the book came out. I wasted no time in requesting it from the Library and couldn't wait to get it.
I was inclined to re-read Pride and Prejudice right after but now that I finished Sittenfeld's book, I don't want to spoil the experience by diving into the original right away.
If you like Jane Austen, read this book. If you like Curtis Sittenfeld, read this book! And if you haven't read Pride and Prejudice, I am not sure you should read it!
