Hey there's something called The Austen Project where 6 authors from UK  were chosen to give a modern take of Austen's classic novels basically to see whether the themes and issue which Austen wrote about are still relevant today or not. 
In October the 1st of these books Sense & Sensibility by Joanna Trollope came out which sets the Dashwood sisters in the 21st century. 

Here's the official website:



The modern retelling of Northanger Abbey should be out in the next few months.


I for one wouldn't mind giving a look at these books 😊

I loved Pride and Prejudice. I read it a couple of years back. I was fascinated by her character development and dialogues. I still have to check out her books though. Will check them out soon.

Not a FAN. When I first read Mansfield Park(which was like 4 years ago), I loved it! But now, I don't. Wouldnt read it again. Same with Pride and Prejudice, liked it, but wouldnt read it again.. I have Emma and Sense and Sensibility at home, but I dont touch them, somehow... 
 
Anyways, really like some of her intelligently written dialogues. She's also one of the very few writers whom I find to be realistic. Considering the times when she wrote what she wrote, she did deserve to be a great literary figure.

Meee! Haha, I guess my id makes it kinda obvious. I've read PnP so many times, and I have also read Sense and Sensibility, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park and Persuasion. I love all of them.
