Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict
Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict | Laurie Viera Rigler
9 posts | 18 read | 22 to read
Jane Mansfield, a gentleman's daughter in 1813 England, has long wished to escape a life in which career choices are limited to wife or maiden aunt. But awakening one morning in twenty-first-century Los Angeles - in the body of someone called Courtney Stone - is not exactly what she had in mind. Jane must quickly get to grips with a world in which everyone thinks she is Courtney Stone: a dizzying world of horseless metal carriages, unrestricted clothing, tiny apartments, all manner of flirting,and unheard-of liberties for womankind. The only thing Jane appears to have in common with Courtney is a love for the novels of Jane Austen. But are the wise words of her favourite novelist enough to guide her through this bewildering new world? And what is she to make of Courtney's attentive friend Wes, who is as attractive and confusing as the man who broke her heart back home? As Courtney's romantic entanglements become her own, Jane wonders: Would she actually be better off back in Regency England - and will she ever be able to return?

Saw this at the used book store where I volunteer, while looking for another book. I couldn't resist. I also might have to watch the BBC Pride and Prejudice now.

Mehso-so

Well, these were fine as fillers while waiting for holds to come in. If you're a Jane Austen fan and looking for a fun reworking, I'd recommend Austenland by Shannon Hale.

EvieBee I agree! Loved Austenland. 7y
LauraBrook Both Austenlands are really good. And she said she was working on another one when I saw her speak a few years ago. Fingers crossed it comes out soon! I've had these Austen Addict ones on my shelves for a few years and heard the same thing - they're fine, but nothing outstanding. Hope your next read is a cracker! 7y
