This is definitely the sort of book you’ll want to settle down with while sipping a good Earl Grey. Smith portrays herself as a very likeable yet flawed heroine who you will find yourself cheering for as she battles a mysterious illness that leaves her exhausted all the time, searches for love, and tries to make her life meaningful. At the same time, Austen fans will be enchanted by Smith’s encounters in the land of Austen as well as the tidbits about Austen’s life. You will come away from this book feeling like you are a good friends with both Smith and Austen, and you’ll probably want to follow it up with a good dose of Pride and Prejudice.
