![]() And not just any part of the modern age: this book takes place in Brooklyn as the long-term residents of one particular neighbourhood face up to its increasing gentrification and the all too real prospect that they may be forced out of their homes by new neighbours and ever-rising rents.Īll the familiar characters are here in various guises – mostly instantly recognisable – and the situations and challenges they face are at once familiar to Austen fans and also perfectly modern. I’m a great fan of stories that take their inspiration from the works of Jane Austen, Bridget Jones sequels not withstanding, so I was very excited to learn of a young adult novel that claimed to be dragging Pride and Prejudice firmly into the 21st Century. ![]() Contemporary Young Adult Romance published by Balzer + Bray 18 Sep 18 ![]()
