Romance Time Travel
In this Jane Austen-inspired comedy, love story, and
exploration of identity and destiny, a modern LA girl wakes
up as an Englishwoman in Austen's time. After nursing a broken engagement with Jane Austen novels
and Absolut, Courtney Stone wakes up and finds herself not
in her Los Angeles bedroom or even in her own body, but
inside the bedchamber of a woman in Regency England. Who but
an Austen addict like herself could concoct such a fantasy? Not only is Courtney stuck in another woman's life, she is
forced to pretend she actually is that woman; and despite
knowing nothing about her, she manages to fool even the most
astute observer. But not even her love of Jane Austen has
prepared Courtney for the chamber pots and filthy coaching
inns of nineteenth-century England, let alone the realities
of being a single woman who must fend off suffocating
chaperones, condomless seducers, and marriages of
convenience. Enter the enigmatic Mr. Edgeworth, who fills
Courtney's borrowed brain with confusing memories that are
clearly not her own. Try as she might to control her mind and find a way home,
Courtney cannot deny that she is becoming this other
woman-and being this other woman is not without its
advantages: Especially in a looking-glass Austen world.
Especially with a suitor who may not turn out to be a
familiar species of philanderer after all.
