Bernie, a "universal glue" who has been married six times and is still optimistic and ageless; Jocelyn, an independent, happy, single woman who pursues order and self-control; Sylvia, who has sacrificed for her family for twenty years, but her husband Betrayed her for the happiness of other women; Allegra, S's daughter, a young and beautiful Lara who loves all kinds of adventures and extreme sports; Prudie, a French teacher in middle school, living with a husband who does not have a common language is very painful. The handsome boy is ambiguous. The five women all love to read Jane Austen, and they formed a Jane Austin Book Club with the help of Bernie. Grigg, a handsome boy who likes to read science fiction and grew up with his three sisters, met Jocelyn by chance. After receiving an invitation from the woman he liked, he also gladly joined the reading club in Austin, which he had never read before.
I've only seen Pride and Prejudice, so I'm mortified by the discussion of the characters and plots in Jane's work. But I like reading clubs like this. It is a wonderful thing to communicate, debate, and share with people who share common interests outside the hustle and bustle of the rhythm. I also like Grigg, who is assertive, persistent, and stubborn.
At the end of the story, Bernie is about to enter the marriage for the seventh time, Jocelyn let go of her arrogance and prejudice and walked towards Grigg. Jane converts her husband, who once thought Austin was a well-rounded Texas city, to become a mother-to-be.
Pretty casual romance, and Jane is a good glue.
