In this modern retelling of Pride & Prejudice, the Bennet family are reimagined as native Long Islanders who run a bakery in the Hamptons. When Darcy and the Bingleys (plus the perfidious Tristan) blow in for the summer, it upends their lives. This is the second in these authors’ Austen series (after Emma of 83rd Street, which I loved) set in New York, and I love how creative they are with the reimagining of an Austen cast of characters in present day New York. No spoilers but Mary is an environmental activist who gets arrested! Very well done and worth a read!
