Eligible : a novel / Curtis Sittenfeld.

Sittenfeld, Curtis. (Author). Austen, Jane, 1775-1817 Retelling of: Pride and prejudice. (Added Author). Austen, Jane, 1775-1817 Pride and prejudice (Author).

Summary:

"Equal parts homage to Jane Austen and bold literary experiment, Eligible is a brilliant, playful, and delicious saga for the twenty-first century."-- Jacket flap.
Love, sex, and relationships in contemporary Cincinnati provide an incisive social commentary set in the framework of Pride and Prejudice. Sittenfeld's inclusion of a Bachelor-like reality show is a brilliant parallel to the scrutiny placed on characters in the neighborhood balls of Jane Austen's novel, and readers will have no question about the crass nature of the younger Bennets, or the pride and prejudice of the heroine.
