I just finished listening to Austenland and I loved it! I thought the story was cute and I loved the romance. I fell in madly love with Mr. Darcy (Colin Firth) while watching the BBC/A&E version of Pride & Prejudice , which helped me to understand the protagonist of this fun novel. A wealthy distant relative bequeaths Jane a 3 week Regency immersion vacation at Pembrook Park so she can either find her own Mr. Darcy or break loose from the fantasy. The narrator brought the characters to life! It's a bit of fun chick book.
Now I want to read Jane Austen's books and watch the Jane Austen movies I have.
"Be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled, will disappear all too soon...and that you will, to your surprise, miss them, profoundly."~Pres. Monson
