SUMMARY:Beyond the Book Club: Sense and Sensibility
DESCRIPTION:An afternoon dedicated to Jane Austen’s novel of love\, family\, heartbreak\, and societal expectations (which of course you could say about most of her novels. Maybe not Northanger Abbey …) This sort-of book club with tea and good conversation will revisit the Dashwood’s milieu to investigate whether Austen’s sharp observations about love and human nature still ring true today (and maybe whether the recent film was as good as Ang Lee’s). “Whether you’re a lifelong Austen admirer or discovering her work for the first time\, join fellow book lovers for an afternoon celebrating the enduring charm\, wit\, and wisdom of Sense and Sensibility …”
