The Austen Project brings together contemporary authors to retell Jane Austen’s classic novels in modern settings. Curtis Sittenfeld’s contribution, Eligible (2016), reimagines Pride and Prejudice in present-day Cincinnati. The Bennet family home is falling apart, and Liz, a magazine writer in her late thirties, clashes with neurosurgeon Fitzwilliam Darcy.
The series also includes modern versions of Sense & Sensibility (2013), Northanger Abbey (2014), and Emma (2014) by other authors. Each book takes the bones of an Austen plot and transplants it into the twenty-first century.
