10 Great Summer Books for Women
By Sharon O’Brien
“Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict” by Laurie Viera Rigler
First-time novelist Rigler goes beyond typical chick lit to tell the charming and funny story of Courtney, a modern young woman who is transported into 18th century England and finds herself living the plot of an Austen novel. Chafing under the limitations and expectations placed on unmarried women, Courtney copes with the usual collection of meddling parents, town gossips, scoundrels, and misunderstandings that Austen fans expect and enjoy.
