Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict, Laurie Viera Rigler- 4 Stars
Reviewed April 3, 2013
A lifetime lover of Jane Austen, I was hooked from the moment I read the books title.
The author introduces us to Jane Mansfield, born in 1783, who wakes up in 2009 in Los Angeles. Jane is the thirty year old daughter of an English Gentleman suddenly thrust into the body and life of Courtney Stone, a Personal Assistant to a demanding boss.
The wonders of the Twenty-First Century test Jane's ability to adapt her sensibilities, vocabulary, and independence. Jane's story begins after bumping her head on the bottom of a swimming pool. Upon seeing her bikini, "Indeed! As if any respectable woman would go around clothed in such a costume, if I may use such a word for this diminutive article."
An entertaining novel, Laurie Viera Rigler leads us through a cast of characters who embrace Jane and her quirkiness and ultimately help her find her way home.
If you enjoyed "Lost in Austen" or "A Weekend with Mr. Darcy" you will love this book.
