![]() ![]() ![]() There are just so many things wrong with it that I don’t even know where to begin. I really have no idea how to write a review for this book. I find myself utterly perplexed as I consider Shannon Hale’s Midnight in Austenland. How could it not turn out right in the end? ![]() The follow-up to reader favorite Austenland provides the same perfectly plotted pleasures, with a feisty new heroine, plenty of fresh and frightening twists, and the possibility of a romance that might just go beyond the proper bounds of Austen's world. Mallery as sinister as he seems? What is Miss Gardenside's mysterious ailment? Was that an actual dead body in the secret attic room? And-perhaps of the most lasting importance-could the stirrings in Charlotte's heart be a sign of real-life love? And as the parlor games turn a little bit menacing, she finds she needs more than a good corset to keep herself safe. She dons a bonnet and stays at a country manor house that provides an immersive Austen experience, complete with gentleman actors who cater to the guests' Austen fantasies.Įveryone at Pembrook Park is playing a role, but increasingly, Charlotte isn't sure where roles end and reality begins. When Charlotte Kinder treats herself to a two-week vacation at Austenland, she happily leaves behind her ex-husband and his delightful new wife, her ever-grateful children, and all the rest of her real life in America. ![]()
