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.ĭecked 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. Darcy, as played by Colin Firth in the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, is ruining her love life: no real man can compare. Jane Hayes is a seemingly normal young New Yorker, but she has a secret. Mentions of adultery, and it’s hinted that several of the stayers at the result (they’re all female) have husbands. Never says what that is or goes into more detail about it. There were also three mentions of gay people. I just remember one or two words. A little sexual content – mostly in form of mentioning stuff that could be taken inappropriately, a little innuendo, and then kissing (not extremely detailed). Some cussing, but extremely rare … and unnecessary in my opinion. It’s been a while, so I don’t remember exactly.
