Wit’s End

Attribution
Karen Joy Fowler
Publication Details
Book, G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 2008
Description
If you loved The Jane Austen Book Club, you’ll revel in Wit’s End, a sly and clever novel of mystery, intrigue, and virtual reality. Set in contemporary Santa Cruz, the novel centers on Rima Lanisell, a young woman at loose ends, having just lost her father to cancer. So Wit’s End is also a highly inventive take on the way dedicated readers appropriate their favorite books, perhaps the one act of theft applauded the world over—except by authors.
