ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Eligible” by Curtis Sittenfeld is a modern retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, set in contemporary Cincinnati. The story follows the Bennet family, particularly the five sisters, as they navigate love, societal expectations, and personal identity. Jane, the eldest, faces the challenge of finding love while considering artificial insemination, while Liz, the sharp and independent second sister, grapples with a complicated affair and her growing feelings for the aloof Darcy. The novel explores themes of family, class, modern romance, and the pressure of societal norms, with Sittenfeld using humor and satire to critique contemporary culture.
