I don’t normally read many books with time travel plots but this one had Jane Austen landing in the 21st century looking for love and that’s just too neat of a premise to pass up. She must find a way to stop herself disappearing from history before it's too late.Ī modern-day reimagining of the life of one of the world's most celebrated writers, this wonderfully witty romantic comedy offers a new side to Jane's story, which sees her having to choose between true love in the present and her career as a writer in the past. But as Jane's romance with Fred blossoms, her presence in the literary world starts to waver. She is also delighted to discover that she is now a famous writer, a published author of six novels and beloved around the globe. She forms a new best friend in fading film star Sofia Wentworth, and a genuine love interest in Sofia's brother Fred, who has the audacity to be handsome, clever and kind-hearted. Magically, she finds herself in modern-day England, where horseless steel carriages line the streets and people wear very little clothing.

She is forced to take extreme measures in her quest to find true love - which lands her in the most extraordinary of circumstances. If Jane Austen had the choice between the heart and the pen, what do you think she would do?Īt age twenty-eight, Jane Austen should be seeking a suitable husband, but all she wants to do is write.
