Who but an Austen addict like herself could concoct such a fantasy? <BR><BR> Not only is Courtney stuck in another woman's life, she is forced to pretend she actually is that woman; and despite knowing nothing about her, she manages to fool even the most astute observer. But not even her love of Jane Austen has prepared Courtney for the chamber pots and filthy coaching inns of nineteenth-century England, let alone the realities of being a single woman who must fend off suffocating chaperones, condomless seducers, and marriages of convenience. Enter the enigmatic Mr. Edgeworth, who fills Courtney's borrowed brain with confusing memories that are clearly not her own. <BR><BR> Try as she might to control her mind and find a way home, Courtney cannot deny that she is becoming this other woman&#151;and being this other woman is not without its advantages: Especially in a looking-glass Austen world. Especially with a suitor who may not turn out to be a familiar species of philanderer after all. 2198542 2 8 2007 Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict total:1927|5:138|4:421|3:766|2:444|1:158| 1927 5718 3061 576 2 13 false false Thu Jul 03 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 03 20:15:02 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 04 11:04:53 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 7 false false Fri Jun 13 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 13 14:02:29 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 13 14:03:38 -0700 2008 Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict.
