About this title

Review:

Praise for ELIGIBLE:

A masterpiece ... I found Eligible so relevant and relatable. Whether or not you re an Austen fan, you ll adore this version: This is Pride and Prejudice 2.0 and I must confess, I liked it more than the original. There I said it Stylist

These days, if Curtis Sittenfeld writes it, I read it Judy Blume

If there exists a more perfect pairing than Curtis Sittenfeld and Jane Austen, we dare you to find it Elle

Bold and brilliant ... Sittenfeld s prose is so witty and sparkling that she keeps you entranced from first page to last Glamour

Eligible has all the charm, wit and romance of Pride & Prejudice and also takes these characters who are such a stalwart feature of our literary landscape and treats them with such affection and humour, that I defy anyone not to find Eligible an absolute delight Red

Dazzling Woman and Home

Fizzy and Funny Psychologies

Such a feast of a book Nigella Lawson

Three cheers for Curtis Sittenfeld and her astute, sharp and ebullient anthropological interest in the human condition... not since Clueless, which transported Emma to Beverly Hills, has Austen been so delightedly interpreted The New York Times

An enjoyably light-hearted romp Financial Times

Hilarious and endearing family drama Kirkus Reviews

Effortlessly entertaining and delightfully readable National

A delightful romp for not only Austen devotees but also lovers of romantic comedies and sly satire, as well . . . Bestselling Sittenfeld plus Jane Austen? What more could mainstream fiction readers ask for? Booklist

Sittenfeld adeptly updates and channels Austen s narrative voice the book is full of smart observations on gender and money. . . . A clever retelling of an old-fashioned favourite Publishers Weekly
