[quote=Anonymous]Love this thread! Thanks for getting it going, OP! There are so many pairings here that I’d like to read. For Pride and Prejudice fans, I’ll add one more vote for Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld. It’s a fun and engaging read, and fascinating to see how Sittenfeld updated the comedy of manners by nearly two centuries while retaining the core story of love and family complications. A couple of PPs recommend Little Women and Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano. I loved Hello Beautiful and agree that, yes, Napolitano’s characters, the four Padovano sisters in late 20th-century Chicago compare themselves to the March sisters, but they’re not really that similar other than the gender and number of them, are they? A couple more — not sure if they’ve been mentioned — The Brothers Karamazov and The Family Chao by Lan Samantha Chang King Lear and A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley[/quote]
