Austenland
This is charming but not particularly convincing, but devoted Austen fans still can't resist it. (I intend to watch the movie with Keri Russell, but have heard such terrible things about it that I haven't brought myself to do it yet.)
About the Book
Publisher’s description:
Jane is a young New York woman who can never seem to find the right man-perhaps because of her secret obsession with Mr. Darcy, as played by Colin Firth in the BBC adaptation of Pride and Predjudice. When a wealthy relative bequeaths her a trip to an English resort catering to Austen-obsessed women, however, Jane’s fantasies of meeting the perfect Regency-era gentleman suddenly become more real than she ever could have imagined. Is this total immersion in a fake Austenland enough to make Jane kick the Austen obsession for good, or could all her dreams actually culminate in a Mr. Darcy of her own?
