The Unmarriageable events continue! Our regional coordinator, Melinda O’Connell, attended a lunch event today with the Austin Arts & Drama Initiative (AADI) to honor Soniah Kamal and her book, Unmarriageable. We love forming new partnerships with other organizations, exploring the world of Austen, and celebrating new Austen-related endeavors! - - - - - - Repost from @louiseftw - - - - - - I had the privilege of joining Soniah Kamal and the women of Austin Arts & Drama Initiative (AADI) for a delicious lunch and discussion of Soniah’s book Unmarriageable. Inspired by Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice, it’s a story that takes place in Pakistan and presents the parallels between Austen’s time and the present day, proving that Austen continues to cross cultural boundaries and remains relevant, even in the 21st century. (That’s a gross oversimplification of the book, but go read it for yourself, and you’ll see just how genius it is. Here’s a review from NPR that does it more justice: https://www.npr.org/2019/01/20/686316472/unmarriageable-sets-pride-and-prejudice-in-pakistan.) • Thank you, Sumaiya, Soniah, and the rest of AADI, for having me! It was such a pleasure meeting all of you. I had a wonderful time! • #Unmarriageable #AADI #JASNA #PrideAndPrejudice

“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! — When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
