What we’re about
Whether you are a familiar devotee of Jane Austen novels or Austen-curious, this book club will be a fun space to share conversation and laughs about her six major novels and all their characters and wit. We will indulge in Jane Austen-related media from the 18th century to present. I look forward to geeking out with you!
Members from any zip are welcome but meetings will primarily localize in South & western Wake (Holly Springs, Fuquay, Apex, Cary)
