Curtis Sittenfeld (a female author) wrote Eligible: A Modern Retelling of Pride and Prejudice. Now the five Bennett sisters are living in modern times in Cincinnati, Ohio. Liz Bennett is an author of a women's magazine in New York City. Jane is also in New York City teaching yoga but they all come home to Cincinnati when their father has a heart attack. Mr. Darcy is a neurosurgeon at the hospital in Cincinnati. This silly book was entertaining but over the top in some parts. Jane's beau also works in the emergency room of the Cincinnati hospital but he was the star of a TV show called Eligible which sounds just like the Bachelor although I have never watched the Bachelor. Of all the characters in Pride and Prejudice I think Mr. and Mrs. Bennett stay the truest to form in Eligible.
