Elizabeth of East Hampton is a fresh and whip-smart modern retelling of Jane Austen’s classic Pride and Prejudice. Written by Audrey Bellezza and Emily Harding, this novel transports readers to the summer in the Hamptons, where classes clash, rumors run wild, and love has a frustrating habit of popping up where you least expect it. Audrey Bellezza and Emily Harding are known for their engaging and contemporary takes on classic literature. Their previous work, Emma of 83rd Street, was praised as a great beach read. In Elizabeth of East Hampton, they bring their signature wit and charm to the story of Lizzy Bennet, who has lived her whole life in the Hamptons and dreams of escaping the summer influx of rich Manhattanites. The story follows Lizzy as she navigates family obligations, romantic entanglements, and the social whirl of the Hamptons. When her sister flirts with the new bachelor in town, Charlie Pierce, Lizzy is introduced to his aloof and arrogant friend, Will Darcy. Despite their differences, Lizzy and Will are drawn to each other, leading to misunderstandings and revelations that challenge their initial impressions. This novel is perfect for readers who enjoy modern retellings of classic stories, with a mix of humor, romance, and social commentary. #FlorenzaDeniseLee #FlorenzaSays #OntheairwithFlorenza #author_interview #Emily_Harding #Audrey_Bellezza #ElizabethofEastHampton #Jane_Austen #For_the_love_of_Austen #SimonandSchuster
