Happy Holidays! It is almost time for our January reading group meeting. We will begin 2014 with a discussion of the novel, Longbourn, by Jo Baker. We will gather on January 12th at 1pm at the home of Alexandra Guerra. Our discussion leader will be Katherine Lozano. Longbourn is a novel based on the timeline and events of Pride and Prejudice, but from the point of view of their servants. It is available in hard back and Kindle versions. Even if you are unable to read the novel in advance, you will still be able to participate in the discussion as you expand your knowledge of the Regency period and "read between the lines" of Austen's work. To RSVP please send an email if possible (see our Contacts page). | Click here for an NPR interview with author Jo Baker, as well as an excerpt from Longbourn |
