Pride and Prejudice with a contemporary spin.
While there have been many literary and cinematic interpretations of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice, fans of the original should give this version a try. Remaining true to the original personalities and dynamics between the characters, author Curtis Sittenfeld brings the Bennett family, Fitzwilliam Darcy, and their friends and families into the 21st century. I particularly enjoyed the updated version of Lydia's suitor. The familial drama, meddling, and misunderstandings run amok as in the original, creating a fun and lighthearted read.
