Bay Area Jane Austen Book Club

Join us for a lively book club discussion about Bridget Jones’s Diary by Helen Fielding, a witty, feel-good modern spin on Pride and Prejudice. Meet Bridget: single, self-deprecating, hilariously honest, and trying to navigate love, work, and self-improvement in 1990s London (with a familiar-sounding Mr. Darcy, of course). It’s the perfect mix of sharp social commentary, romantic chaos, and laugh-out-loud moments all with Austen-esque charm.

But when he turns up dead, the gathering takes a dark and unexpected turn. With nearly every guest a suspect, it’s up to two unlikely young detectives — Juliet Tilney and Jonathan Darcy — to uncover the truth. Full of wit, intrigue, and delightful Austen callbacks, this cozy mystery is perfect for a lively, literary-inspired book club conversation!
