Let's talk about Austenland right now, because it is seriously good fun!
WARNING: Do not read this book if you are after a historical, Austen-type romance. This is not that book. And it is not trying to be.
Austenland is a big breath of fresh air. Yes, we have a Mr Darcy type, a Wickham, a Mrs Bennett and Elizabeth...but these people all know they are playing a part. They are pretending to be from the Austen world we all so love, they are wearing petticoats and spending all day playing whist and learning needle point (how boring!) and basically figuring out that sometimes history is best left there, in the past. Sometimes being a modern day heroine is just as brilliant - (hello, indoor plumbing, independence, freedom to wear jeans, etc etc). This is a funny, riotous, laugh-out-loud comedy that will have chick-lit readers in stitches.
Join Jane in her quest to find her very own Mr Darcy - you will not regret it I promise!
