The Three Weissmanns of Westport by Cathleen Schine ✔✔✔

A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice
Betty Weissmann has just been dumped by her husband of forty-eight years. Exiled from her elegant New York apartment by her husband's mistress, she and her two middle-aged daughters, Miranda and Annie, regroup in a run-down Westport, Connecticut, beach cottage. In Schine's playful and devoted homage to Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, the impulsive sister is Miranda, a literary agent entangled in a series of scandals, and the more pragmatic sister is Annie, a library director, who feels compelled to move in and watch over her capricious mother and sister. Schine's witty, wonderful novel "is simply full of pleasure: the pleasure of reading, the pleasure of Austen, and the pleasure that the characters so rightly and humorously pursue..An absolute triumph" (Cleveland Plain Dealer).

The above is from Chapters Indigo website - I'm feeling lazy tonight. However, I must say I really enjoyed this book - a fairly light read, and certainly witty - I especially enjoyed the character of Felicity, the above-mentioned mistress.
