Three speakers who share our passion for Jane Austen joined us: ***Our very own Gracia Fay Ellwood spoke about “A Hole in Henry Crawford’s Heart.” ***Another local member, Laurie Viera Rigler, entertained us with some passages from her novel, Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict (Dutton, August 2, 2007).
