“Eligible” is a modern retelling of Jane Austen’s classic “Pride and Prejudice.” Set in Cincinnati, the novel follows Liz Bennet, a magazine writer, and her sisters navigating relationships and societal expectations. When their family faces financial challenges, the arrival of the wealthy and charming Dr. Chip Bingley and his standoffish friend, Fitzwilliam Darcy, shakes up their lives. Sittenfeld skillfully captures the wit and romance of the original while infusing the story with contemporary themes and humor.
