My Jane Austen Summer
My Jane Austen Summer: A Season in Mansfield Park | Cindy Jones
7 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
�When one has read the six great Austen novels�and then reread and then reread the six again, one�s only recourse is the company of others equally bereft. Cindy Jones�s My Jane Austen Summer fills the gap with a nourishing Austen-soaked setting, a wonderfully surprising plot, and Lily, a delightfully peculiar heroine.� �Karen Joy Fowler, author of The Jane Austen Book Club Author Cindy Jones has a gift for the millions of readers everywhere who have been enchanted by Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and the other wondrous works of the inimitable Austen�not to mention fans of more contemporary delights such as The Jane Austen Book Club. Jones�s My Jane Austen Summer is a delightful, funny, poignant novel in which a contemporary woman�an obsessed Austenphile�learns much about life, love, and herself during one magical summer in England spent re-enacting Jane Austen�s Mansfield Park.

Finished my next #litsylovechallenge book gifted by @BarbaraBB

It's a nice story about an American girl, who travels to England, since she will work at a Jane Austen's festival for a summer. I liked the idea of the novel, but I had my difficulties with the main character and her attitude.
I can understand, that she has her problems, living in another land, but since all the problems seem to concentrate on her, it was often too much.

BarbaraBB Ah, I had forgotten all about it. But I thought at the time it belonged in your Austen-collection! 😘 5y
Sarah83 @BarbaraBB it was a nice idea. 🤩 Do you enjoy your USA trip? 5y
BarbaraBB Yes very much. It is very different from Europe, much more than I would have thought. One more week to go! 5y

My mug says 'everything is dumb without coffee'... So true today. It's my last day off work and my dad and I repair the windows in my flat. Unfortunately no reading time until now, so I am happy, we have a break now and I can dive into my last July read #litsylovechallenge #fridayreads

julesG Enjoy your last holiday days! 5y

Panpan

I hate to pan anything, it makes me feel guilty. I just can't in good conscience recommend this one. The main character spends most of the book as a nutter with Jane Austen's presence always by her side. Farcical to the point of tedium, if that makes sense. There were a few glimmers of humor.
