Pride and Prejudice is getting a Millennial reboot. A New York times best selling author is reimagining the classic romance novel with Eligible, a story set it in modern-day Cincinnati, with Lizzie Bennett as a magazine editor whose sisters teach yoga and obsess over CrossFit. The author was commissioned to write the book by The Austen Project, and says the retelling “sounded like so much fun.” The organization is reportedly matching up “authors of global significance with Jane Austen’s six complete works,” so this might not be the last modernization of her romance classics.
