This month marks Jane Austen’s 250th birthday. One of this group’s favorite authors, we debated including one of her novels in our list, but there are too many to choose! Below we’ve listed our top 4. Take a break from our books and curl up with one of these over the holidays. Each book has at least one screen adaptation equally charming.

1. Pride and Prejudice
- Follows Elizabeth Bennet as she navigates issues of class, marriage, and morality.
📚Witty dialogue, strong characters, and exploration of social issues. Elizabeth’s journey of self-discovery and the romantic tension with Mr. Darcy are particularly engaging.
📽️ Notable Film Adaptations:
- “Pride and Prejudice” (2005) starring Keira Knightley
- “Pride and Prejudice” (1995) mini-series starring Colin Firth
⭐️The debate rages over which was the better Darcy
⭐️⭐️Also Colin Firth playing Darcy again in Bridget Jones is perfect

2. Persuasion
- Centers on Anne Elliot, who is persuaded to reject her first love and must navigate heartbreak and second chances.
📚It explores themes of regret, love, and the passage of time. The emotional depth and melancholy tone are particularly poignant.
📽️ Notable Film Adaptations:
- “Persuasion” (2021) starring Dakota Johnson

3. Emma
- Follows the life of Emma Woodhouse, a wealthy young woman who fancies herself a matchmaker.
📚Emma is a complex, flawed heroine, and the story combines humor with insightful commentary on relationships and social status.
📽️ Notable Film Adaptations:
- “Emma” (2020) starring Anya Taylor-Joy
- “Emma” starring Gwyneth Paltrow
- “Clueless” (1995), a modern adaptation of “Emma”

4. Sense and Sensibility
- Centers on the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, as they deal with love, heartbreak, and financial difficulties.
📚 The contrast between the sisters shows different approaches to life and love. The themes of resilience and emotional depth are relatable.
📽️ Notable Film Adaptations:
- “Sense and Sensibility” (1995) directed by Ang Lee, starring Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet, and a charmingly awkward Hugh Grant

Big shout-out to these four Masters swimmers… they raised over $10k swimming 5+ miles in the Mon River to support @cancerbridges.

Incredible way to support a great local group who helps others navigating the impact of cancer. Watch the report — link in bio.
