Jane Hayes is a seemingly normal young New Yorker, but she
has a secret. Her obsession with Mr. Darcy, as played by
Colin Firth in the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, is
ruining her love life: no real man can compare. But when a
wealthy relative bequeaths her a trip to an English resort
catering to Austen-crazed women, Jane’s fantasies of meeting
the perfect Regency-era gentleman suddenly become realer
than she ever could have imagined.
Decked out in empire-waist gowns, Jane struggles to master
Regency etiquette and flirts with gardeners and gentlemen—or
maybe even, she suspects, with the actors who are playing
them. It’s all a game, Jane knows. And yet the longer she
stays, the more her insecurities seem to fall away, and the
more she wonders: Is she about to kick the Austen obsession
for good, or could all her dreams actually culminate in a
Mr. Darcy of her own?
