Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict

Published by Carrie at 10:56 am under Books, Reviews Edit This

confessions.jpg

Confessions of a Jane Austen Addictby Laurie Viera Rigler is the story of Courtney, a modern woman who one day wakes up in the body of Jane Mansfield, a young woman living in the early 1800s. Courtney is a self-proclaimed Jane Austen addict, but having read every Austen novel multiple times has not prepared her for the reality of life at the time - especially for the restrictions placed on single women.

Jane’s mother, “Mrs. M,” has plans for Jane to marry Charles Edgeworth, but Courtney has vague memories of seeing him leaving a barn, followed by a pretty young maidservant. Also, Charles’s own sister Mary believe he is a cad, and convinces Courtney-as-Jane to spurn his advances. But Courtney isn’t sure what to think of the flashes of memory she is having - let alone the reason why she has been transported into this woman’s life, or how she can find her way back home.

This was a fun read - light and quick, perfect after finishing Madeleine L’Engle’s Love Letters. I enjoyed the descriptions of Austen’s time period, especially the things I’ve never thought about when reading Austen’s novels - things like personal hygiene, the smells, the way food would be served well past its prime. Her description of the “human stew” in the hot springs at Bath was particularly amusing.

While I enjoyed this book, I found the writing a little stilted and not quite polished. It made me wonder if this was perhaps Ms. Sigler’s first novel. The ending was a bit abrupt, too, and left many questions unanswered. I was happy to discover that there is a sequel being released in June. I look forward to reading it.
