    <body><![CDATA[Audrey Niffenegger's review on the front of this book is very apropos.<br/><br/>&quot;Quirky: adolescent angst meets metaphysics, screwball-comedy trysts with the underpinnings of reality.  It's funny and tender; it's a chance to see Scarlett O'Hara and Emma Bovary off duty.&quot;<br/><br/>This ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26288286">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I am giving this book 2 stars mainly because the idea was so wonderful--a bed and breakfast where heroines of classic literature come for a respite from their plotlines--but the execution just left me kind of &quot;meh&quot;.

This adult novelist has all the heroines of famous literature (Hester Prynne, Madame Bovary, Scarlett O'Hara) coming to stay at a bed and breakfast in Prairie Bluff, Illinois.

A fun read though, I'd recommend it.<br/>Plot line is a bunch of       es from different stories come to live at this B&amp;B -- Scarlett O'Hara, Madame Bovary, etc.  Cute idea, wish she'd do a second book. :)]]></body>
