Jane is a young New York woman who never seems 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 Prejudice. 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?

For Colin Firth
You're a really great guy, but I'm married,
so I think we should just be friends.
Incipit
Dati dalle informazioni generali inglesi.Modifica per tradurlo nella tua lingua.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a thirty-something woman in possession of a satisfying career and fabulous hairdo must be in want of very little, and Jane Hayes, pretty enough and clever enough, was certainly thought to have little to distress her.

"I was such a fool, Jane. I couldn't see what was real until time had washed away everything else."
"Figure out what is real for you."
"You know, that book did Austen herself no good—died a spinster." "I know." The thought had haunted Jane many times, and it was a favorite weapon of anti-Austen enthusiasts. "Not that there's anything wrong with spinsters," Carolyn said, patting the fragile folds in her neck. "Of course not. Spinster is just an archaic term for 'career-minded.'"
And Jane was eager to agree. Seriously, a thirty-something woman shouldn't be daydreaming about a fictional character in a two-hundred-year-old world to the point where it interfered with her very real and much more important life and relationships. Of course, she shouldn't.
Is this why women wear heels? thought Jane. We hobble ourselves so we can still be rescued by men?
