Reviews

"Utterly charming...think Pride and Prejudice, but with better weather." --Vanity Fair

"Page-turner of the week.... In this witty romp, widowed Jewish women and their extended kin fill in for the country families in Pride and Prejudice.... What's not to like?" --People

"Clever, warm-hearted...Cohen's wit is sharp, smart, and satirical, and her characterizations are vividly on target." --San Francisco Chronicle

"I can't imagine a more perfect afternoon than sitting by a pool reading Jane Austen in Boca...Whether you're from Boca, Brooklyn, or Beverly Hills, be sure to make time to read this very funny book." --Joan Rivers
