Put down your di-ary, Bridget Jones.

Make way forCurtis Sittenfeld,whose amusing ifcrass new novel,

Eligible (Random House, 488 pp.,eeeE out of four), is the latest“modern retelling” of Pride andPrejudice, Jane Austen’s belovedRegency romance.

Sittenfeld, witty author of Prepand American Wife, seems thewoman for the job in the 21stcentury, as Bridget creator HelenFielding was in the 1990s.

If you’re updating the adorablycontentious love story of “Liz”Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy for2016, you have to throw in text-ing, reality TV, hookup sex, start-ups, transgender politics and yoga, right? So it would seem, andsomehow it mostly works, even ifgentle Jane is probably rollingover in her grave in WinchesterCathedral.

Austen’s 1813 classic comedy ofmanners, money and marriage isholding up quite nicely on its own,thank you. But give Sittenfeldprops for diving into her chick-litsatire (sanctioned by The AustenProject) with gusto, and makinginteresting choices — some ofwhich work better than others —about how to move the long-goneworld of ballrooms and “marriage-able” girls into the present.

All five contemporary Bennetsisters are eligible, and thesespinster sisters are considerablyolder than their Austen counter-parts. The eldest, Jane, is 39, withour heroine Liz, a New York-based magazine writer, nipping ather heels at 38. They have menin their lives, but not the rightones. (Liz’s longtime jerk of aboyfriend is married and namedJasper Wick, a wink-wink to P&Pvillain Wickham.)

Back home in Cincinnati, astheir father recovers from a heart

attack, Liz and Jane meet ChipBingley, a local doctor and themost recent bachelor on the hitTV reality show Eligible, and hissnooty friend, the neurosurgeonDr. Darcy.

We know where this will end,but it’s fun seeing how Sittenfeldgets us there (even if 488 pagesseems excessive). And what shedoes is not always predictable, ei-ther. The vile Lady Catherine deBourgh of P&P is now the coolKathy de Bourgh, a feminist icon.Sittenfeld’s Darcy turns out to bemighty likable, while Liz ismighty annoying. Droll Mr. Ben-net is spot-on and very Austenes-que. Sittenfeld’s younger Bennetsisters, especially Lydia, are justdownright gross at times.

Hey, these are tacky times. Soput aside your prejudice, Janeites.Eligible is good for some giggleson the beach. And a little romance— as convoluted and tortuous asever — never hurt, either.
