In Cathleen Schine's 'The Three Weissmanns of Westport,' a modern rendition of Jane Austen's 'Sense and Sensibility,' the Weissmann family is thrown into disarray when Joseph Weissmann divorces his wife of nearly half a century. Betty, the matriarch, is dispossessed of her New York apartment and seeks refuge in a modest Westport, Connecticut beach cottage with her daughters Miranda and Annie. As the narrative unfolds, Miranda, a vivacious literary agent mired in scandal, and Annie, the more levelheaded library director, confront the complexities of reinventing themselves amid the upper crust of suburban society. The duo navigates the choppy waters of romance, family loyalty, and personal desires, entwined with the gentle echoes of Austen's classic themes of sense versus sensibility.
