The Jane Austen Book Club Trivia Quiz

Answer: Jocelyn

Jocelyn thought of the idea for an all-Jane Austen book club. She picked the members by herself, which besides herself, were Bernadette, Sylvia, Sylvia's daughter, Prudie, and Grigg Harris. The prologue of the story began with who each member thought their Jane Austen was.

Answer: Emma

Since the book club was Jocelyn's idea, she took the first meeting and picked the first book. Jocelyn picked "Emma" as the first Jane Austen book to be discussed.
