Eden Appiah-Kubi's The Bennet Women is an inclusive reimagining of Pride and Prejudice that Jane Austen fans are sure to fall in love with. The story is set in Bennet House, an all-women's dorm where EJ, a Black engineering student, Jamie, a trans woman studying French and navigating the dating scene, and Tessa, a Filipina astronomy major, all live together. And while the trio of friends tend to focus on each other and their studies, the arrival of a Hollywood producer's son and his arrogant best friend shakes up their lives in unexpected ways.
