From the acclaimed author of Stepdog and The Fools Tale comes a romantic comedy that takes place in the picturesque town of Martha's Vineyard, long after the summer crowds have departed. With a satirist's eye and a keen ear for the social nuances of small-town life, this novel is a delightful take on Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice, tailored for the Bumble generation.
Set in the charming town of Martha's Vineyard, the story revolves around Joanna Howes, a Marthas Vineyard native who left the island at eighteen and pursued a writing career in New York City. Now in her thirties, she returns to Martha's Vineyard to care for her cranky, injured uncle. However, financial constraints force Joanna to take on freelance writing jobs for both the local newspaper, which her uncle prefers, and the rival paper, which he detests.
The Vineyard, with its distinct blend of elite summer resort and working-class small town, serves as the backdrop for this captivating tale. The two newspapers, the Journal and the News, are renowned for their rivalry and reflect the seasonal divide in their reporting. Everyone seems to have a chip on their shoulder, adding to the complexity of the narrative.
Joanna becomes personally entangled in a messy situation when she is assigned to write about a wealthy seasonal resident who sues the town for the right to use his private helicopter. As she delves deeper into the story, Joanna meets Orion Smith, the charismatic helicopter owner, and they strike up a conversation over a cup of coffee at a zoning board meeting. Little does Joanna know that Orion is the nephew of her political nemesis.
Through her witty and relatable protagonist, N. D. Galland explores themes of love, friendship, and the complexities of small-town life. With its witty dialogue, charming characters, and picturesque setting, this novel offers a delightful escape for readers who enjoy romantic comedies with a modern twist. Whether you're a fan of Jane Austen or simply looking for a fun and entertaining read, Pride and Prejudice for the Bumble Generation is a must-read.
