As the small village of Chawton is recovering from World War II, several residents begin to bond over their love of Jane Austen's novels. Dr. Benjamin Gray, farmer Adam Berwick, and former local schoolteacher Adeline Grover decide that, because Chawton was the last home of Jane herself, there should be some type of museum devoted to her in the town. While it's a great idea, it isn't until more members are recruited that things really get off the ground. Will the society be able to succeed with their plan when the estate once owned by Jane's brother, Edward, looks to be sold? The Jane Austen Society is a leisurely-paced novel exploring the lives of the characters in the town. It will be published in May.
