![]() Heck, if I’d had all the “boyfriends” Jane’s had through the years, I would’ve given up and held out for a fictional character myself! But I do understand where Jane was coming from. Coming to Austen a little later than most, I can’t say that I relate to the Darcy obsession (although if I had come across Captain Wentworth before I got married, I would probably have developed an unhealthy Wentworth-habit). Jane packs up and goes, hoping to kick the Darcy habit for good. Yes, she’s obsessed.īut her wealthy great-aunt sniffs out her secret and sends her on a three-week vacation to Austenland, a total-immersion experience where everyone dresses in Regency costume, the servants are invisible, men and women are never alone together, and the electric bulbs flicker romantically. When she’s in a relationship, she tends to compare the poor guy to Mr. She drags it out and watches it as she eats her ice cream alone in her apartment. Hidden behind one of her dying houseplants is her very own copy of Colin Firth’s Pride and Prejudice. ![]()
