Description de l’éditeur
A hilarious, escapist romcom from the author of CONFESSIONS OF A FORTY-SOMETHING F##K UP!
Every girl is looking for her Mr Darcy. Imagine if you found the real one.
After a string of nightmare relationships, Emily Albright has decided she's had it with modern-day men. She'd rather pour herself a glass of wine, curl up with Pride and Prejudice, and step into a time where men were dashing, devoted and honourable, and strode across fields in breeches, their damp shirts clinging to their chests . . .
When she decides to book a coach tour of Jane Austen country, she quickly realises she won't find her dream man here - just a coach full of pensioners and one particularly aggravating (if handsome) journalist, Spike.
That's until she enters a room and finds herself face-to-face with none other than Darcy himself. And every woman's fantasy suddenly becomes one woman's reality. . .
Alexandra Potter makes dreams come true in this fun, feel-good fairy-tale about life, love and dating literature's most eligible bachelor!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
U.K. author Potter makes her U.S. debut with Emily Albright, 29, a New York bookstore manager, who half-seriously blames Jane Austen's Fitzwilliam Darcy for her abysmal dating life: Darcy sets the bar too high. As Christmas approaches, Emily, to avoid a holiday with co-worker Stella, signs up for a tour of Darcy territory, lighting out, amusingly, with a gaggle of gray-haired Darcy maniacs. As the tour group weaves in and out of Darcy locales, Emily butts heads with Spike Hargreaves, a handsome young journalist interviewing the group. Soon, the jet-lagged, drink-laden Emily finds herself presto! time traveling and meeting Mr. Darcy himself, complete with frock coat. As her acquaintance with Darcy deepens, Emily, to her great surprise, finds herself thinking about Spike. Despite the plot's predictability, Potter's chick lit take on Darcy has a refreshing not-trying-to-equal-the-master feel.
