Austenland

Part of the special series PASTIMES & PROJECTIONS

Miss Elizabeth Charming: Think about all the people in the world that hang themselves, and then the next day they feel different, but there’s nothing they can do about it. Don’t hang yourself, Jane.

Jane Hayes has a problem: her obsession with Jane Austen — specifically with Mr. Darcy — has ruined her love life. To finally gain clarity, she books a trip to Austenland, a British experience resort dedicated entirely to Regency romance. Corsets, carriage rides, and coquettish flirtations included. But somewhere between staged passion and real emotions, Jane begins to realize that fantasy and reality rarely dance the same dance.
