On Thursday, May 23 at 6:00, we will be meeting at Creekside Place to watch the movie The Jane Austen Book Club and to have a discussion with the author, Karen Joy Fowler!
The Jane Austen Book Club tells the story of six individuals who get together to form a book club that discusses the novels of Jane Austen. Throughout the story, their lives are turned upside down by troubled marriages, affairs, changing relationships, and love. Will Jane Austen be able to help them all?
