This is not the sort of book I would normally read but it was a book club selection so I started early in case I had to force myself. What a wonderful surprise to discover that not only did I want to keep reading but I that I was enjoying myself immensely.
After a night of Vodka and Austen,
Courtney—a present day, modern woman—wakes up in Regency England in the body of
another woman where she has to pretend, at the risk of being sent to an asylum,
that she is Jane Mansfield and not Courtney. And if that isn’t bad enough she
has to contend with an angry, bitter mother who wants to marry her off, a fall
off her horse that requires bloodletting as the cure, and a world where
bathrooms, let alone toilets have yet to be invented.
This is a funny, inventive, and
highly entertaining read. But a note of caution. You should probably read this
one without expectations and with the knowledge that not all your questions
will be met with answers. But not to worry. I heard just recently that a sequel
exists that could tie up the loose ends.
