Shelly's Book Journal

Interesting concept. Austenland is an exclusive resort where female guest pay to have a 3 week vacation resembling a Pride and Prejudice experience. Roll playing with a high price tag. Jane Hayes is single and she thinks doomed to spinsterhood as her greatest fantasy is Mr. Darcy. Her aged aunt will her a spot at Austenland. As she joins up with the role playing, she also recalls the disaster of her previous relationship. Very slow at getting going. The end was fairly predictable, and the mechanisms to get there very Austenian. I did enjoy it though and now feel like walking around the house speaking an English accent.Recommend for Austen fans and people who enjoy 19th century romance.
