Austenland
Autor Shannon Haleen Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 iun 2008
Jane Hayes is a young New Yorker with a real romantic problem: no man she meets can compare to her one true love-Mr. Darcy from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. But when a wealthy relative bequeaths her a trip to an English resort for Austen fanatics, Jane's fantasies of meeting the perfect Regency-era gentleman suddenly become realer than she ever could have imagined.
Dressed in empire waist gowns and torn between a sexy gardener and an actor playing the brooding Darcy role, Jane finds herself mastering the rules of etiquette and of the resort's flirtatious games. But when it's time to bid Austenland goodbye, can Jane really leave her fantasies-and the two men who've played into them-behind?
In this addictive, charming, and entirely delightful story, Shannon Hale brings out the Jane Austen obsessive in all of us.

Recenzii de la cititorii Books Express
Anonim a dat nota:
Usually I'm not a fan of classics getting a modern spin to them, but this is definitely an exception! While it's not a literary masterpiece, it wasn't bad at all. I just finished a novel with a particularly depressing ending, and this book helped me sooo much getting over it.
Recenzii
Praise for "The Goose Girl" and Shannon Hale:
" In layer upon layer of detail a beautiful coming-of-age story emerges, a tale about learning to rescue yourself rather than falling accidentally into happily-ever-after. Hale uncovers her theme patiently and without preaching, focusing not on the moral but on the adventures her heroine must face in order to learn the lessons herself." -- "New York Times Book Review"""
" Shannon Hale is already, after only a few books, one of our best writers of fantasy. She is also one of those rare storytellers who can bring a jaded old reviewer like me to well-earned tears." -- Orson Scott Card
" I was completely beguiled...Hale's writing is beautiful, with a vivid eye for detail." -- Justine Picardie, "Telegraph """
