“Eligible,” by Curtis Sittenfeld is a highly entertaining, witty and modern take on the beloved classic “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen. The Bennett family lives in an affluent Cincinnati suburb. Elizabeth writes for a women’s magazine, Jane teaches yoga and wealthy bachelors Darcy and Bingley are both doctors.
