What this book is about
Jane Hayes is embarrassed by her lifelong obsession with Mr. Darcy — embarrassed enough that she's never been able to truly love a real man. When she inherits a trip to Pembrook Park, an immersive Regency resort where guests live out their Austen fantasies in full costume, she goes hoping to cure herself of the obsession. Shannon Hale's charming, funny novel is a warm meditation on fiction, romance, and what we actually want versus what we think we want.
