內容簡介
內容簡介 New York Times bestselling author Shannon Hale invites readers to Austenland, an utterly delightful, romantic escape. Newly updated edition with brand new content, including a "behind the scenes" look at the making of Austenland the movie! Preorder the third book in the series, Christmas in Austenland, coming in September 2026! Jane Hayes is what some might call a hopeless romantic. Normal life (and men) continuously disappoint her. Why can't she find anyone remotely like literary heartthrob, Mr. Darcy? Why can't real life feel like a novel? When a wealthy relative bequeaths Jane a trip to an English resort for Austen superfans, Jane's fantasies become realer than she ever could have dreamed. Dressed in empire waist gowns and torn between a charming gardener and an actor playing the brooding Mr. Darcy role, Jane attempts to master the Regency-era etiquette and the flirtatious games. But when it's time to bid Austenland farewell, will she be able to leave her sincerest fantasies--and the men who helped bring them to life--behind for good? The first book in this utterly delightful series gives readers the chance to relish all the fun of Regency romance, from the comfort of their modern lives.
