According to Jane - Marilyn Brant

Jane Austen - The woman who created the perfect Love story of ups and downs with Elizabeth and Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. Pride and Prejudice, is like every woman's bible , though if you are one of the few who haven't read it I guarantee though if someone asked you would have A) Seen the many film adaptions or B) read a modernised version or C) be able to relay the story off the cuff with your prior knowledge.
I for one, love the story of Pride and Prejudice and yearn to read anything Jane Austen Inspired -which is why I have reviewed today's book "According to Jane"

Review : According to Jane - Marilyn Brant - Oct 2009

Ever wondered what it would be like to meet Jane Austen , how about second best of having your own personal Jane Austen Guide, a bit like a Voice in your head. That is what happened to fifteen year old Ellie Barnett. During her sophomore English class as the teacher is giving out Austen's Pride and Prejudice ,Ellie is being teased relentlessly by Sam Blaine - the bane of her existence . For Ellie , it is only the beginning as Jane passes on love advice and Ellie learns to classify her romances into the Mr Bingleys , Wickhams and Darcy's of the world. As always, every woman wants her perfect man - the perfect Mr Darcy to have forever. It is not till Ellie reaches her thirties , that she realises that her heart is still with one man - Sam and that maybe if it's not too late she can reclassify him from a Wickham to a Darcy. In a story more than coincidentally parallel to Pride and Prejudice, Marilyn Brant weaves an inventive tale of one woman's search for her heart's desire. I can't help but think how lucky we would all be to have Jane Austen guiding our own romantic adventures.
A Fun and modern take for all those girls whose favourite book is Pride and Prejudice.
