Title: A Slice of Life in the Central Valley
Review: I didn't approach this as a new Jane Austen book, nor, like some reviewers, did I feel that the title was exploitive of the works of Jane Austen. I felt the book club was an intriguing device for pulling the characters together. I appreciated Fowler's insights into women of "une certaine age", of which I am one. And I loved the glimpes of California's Central valley. I found the anecdotal approach a brilliant way to see into the hearts of the characters. All in all, an enjoyable read with many laughs and insights.
