The beloved novel set at a Jane Austen fantasy camp for women, from New York Times-bestselling author Shannon Hale

Jane is a young New York woman who can never seem to find the right man-perhaps because of her secret obsession with Mr. Darcy, as played by Colin Firth in the BBC adaptation of Pride and Predjudice. When a wealthy relative bequeaths her a trip to an English resort catering to Austen-obsessed women, however, Jane's fantasies of meeting the perfect Regency-era gentleman suddenly become more real than she ever could have imagined. Is this total immersion in a fake Austenland enough to make Jane kick the Austen obsession for good, or could all her dreams actually culminate in a Mr. Darcy of her own?

Industry Reviews

Funny, moving and a real surprise. - USA Today

Gloriously satisfying. - Glamour

Adorable! This is the best tribute to Austen freaks (like me) that I've ever read. - Stephenie Meyer, author of Twilight

An homage to Austen... Austenland offers hope that after years of fruitless searching for a companion, just when you're ready to give up on love, it will find you on its own. - Houston Chronicle

An utterly enjoyable tribute. - Miami Herald

Allow me to direct you to the best Austen tribute since Karen Joy Fowler's The Jane Austen Book Club: Shannon Hale's clever and imaginative Austenland... Hale's charming first book for adults is chick lit with soul. Though there's a laugh on nearly every page-Hale, like Austen, is adept at subtly skewering the ridiculous-there's also the more serious story of a woman learning the difference between fantasy and reality, and discovering that real life can be better than your dreams. Is there a better message for a summer read? - Bookpage
