Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler
This book is the selection of the Chick Lit and Other Fiction
for September for the Jane Austen Theme.
Synopsis:
Courtney Stone suddenly wakes up in the Regency time period of
Jane Austen. Her body looks nothing like hers and the image in the
mirror is not hers. Courtney keeps thinking she will wake up and be
back in her own time. She will not have to masquerade as the
character of Jane Mansfield. She draws on her knowledge of Pride and
Prejudice and other novels to navigate this time period. She is
introduced to characters such as Mrs. Mansfield, Mr. Edgeworth, Barnes, and
Mary Edgeworth. Will Courtney be able to navigate the life of Jane
and find happiness?
My Thoughts:
I actually really liked this book more than I thought I
would. I am glad that I can enjoy this as a book and that it is not
real life. I wondered throughout the book how Courtney ended up in
Jane’s body. I found the characters likable. I thought
the writing of Mrs. Mansfield and her personality interesting how it played off
of Jane/Courtney’s character. The book is a pleasurable
read! This book is a wonderful addition to the Jane Austen family of
novels.
