The JASNA Hawai‘i Reading Group will discuss The Austen Affair on July 25, place to be determined.
“Two feuding co-stars in a Jane Austen film adaptation accidentally travel back in time to the Regency Era in this “delightfully clever and riotously funny” 2025 debut novel by Madeline Bell that Macmillan Publisher calls a tribute to Jane Austen, second chances, and love across the space-time continuum.
“In order to eclipse the [romance] trope, the author must add her own spin. Madeline Bell’s The Austen Affair provides a delightful whirl for the reader,” according to the review in JASNA News.
Email aloha@jasnahawaii.org for meeting details.
