THE JANE AUSTEN SOCIETY will definitely appeal to fans of the famous authoress. It’s set mostly in the cozy village of Chawton, England just after WWII. The book follows a small, diverse group of Austen enthusiasts who endeavor to preserve Austin’s final home and her legacy while they each cope with personal secrets and struggles. The characters’ relationships and their shared love of reading are at the heart of the story. The various storylines mimic those found in Austen classics to varying degrees of success. Although predictable, this is a light and pleasant read by first-time author, Natalie Jenner. Having visited the real Jane Austen’s House Museum in Chawton several years ago, this book brought back some wonderful memories for me.
