A contemporary retelling of Sense and Sensibility with a multicultural cast. The Hudson Valley Theater is holding a new kind of summer camp. Shakespeare-loving, responsible Eila grudgingly accompanies her sister Mallika to Regency Camp, where kids dress in Regency clothes and practice a sort of Regency lifestyle, while the television crew hovering around might be choosing some for parts in the popular TV murder-mystery series Rosewood. And then there is this guy, Rahul Lee, a fellow Shakespeare fan. Dasgupta is a bestselling author and pediatrician who teaches at Columbia University. She loves watching cooking shows with her trilingual children and is a team member of We Need Diverse Books. This is her second Austen retelling. Scholastic Press. 2023. Hb, Dj. NEW. $17.00
