Austenland by Sharron Hale tells of 32 year old Jane Haye whose long time obsession with Colin Firth's Mr. Darcy has led to a lifetime of disappointments. When Jane inherits a vacation to Pembrook Park, a place where Jane Austen's happy endings really do come true, Jane decided its time to put Mr. Darcy out of her mind once and for all.
Emily: This is a quick but funny read. I really enjoyed how Jane Haye met many of Jane Austen's characters at Pembrook. I also liked the aspect of the book that dealt with Jane H. trying to sort out the real emotions of the actors who worked at the Park from the imaginary ones.
