Sense and Sensibility

Our Adult book discussion of the Jane Austen's novels got off to a great start with the guest appearance of Carrie Bebris, a representative of the Jane Austen Society of North America. Carrie is the author of the Jane Austen mysteries beginning with Pride and Prescience or a Truth Universally Acknowledged: a Mr. and Mrs. Darcy Mystery. She was able to add so much to the discussion and the enjoyment of Jane Austen's Emma. Her newest novel will come out in September, featuring Highbury and the setting of Emma titled The Matters at Mansfield Or, The Crawford Affair). Carrie pointed out that the village of Highbury is as much a character in Emma as Mr. Knightley or Emma. I am looking forward to my summer in Jane Austen's world. Our discussion of Sense and Sensibility will be on the fourth Monday evening of July, the 28th at 7 pm.
