Austenland



This book was one I just came across while wandering the rows of the library, and it ended up being a pretty fun one. It is about a woman who signs up for a "Jane Austen Retreat," in which women who are obsessed with Mr. Darcy and the other Austen heroes spend a week in a sort of role-playing world, and get to live out their fantasies with actors who work at the retreat. It's interesting, because the heroine discovers a lot about herself, and about what she really wants in life. Mr. Darcy may or may not be all he is cracked up to be in the imaginations of women all over the world. A fun summer read! I would say it is PG.
