WHY MAKE YOUR OWN MISTAKES, WHEN YOU CAN LEARN FROM SOMEBODY ELSE’S?

Bury St Edmunds, Regency Era. Marianne is the envy of Bury society. She’s only one and twenty, but she’s already betrothed to the dashing Tom. Marianne knows that Tom is a fine match.

BUT IS HE THE ONE SHE’S BEEN WAITING FOR?

One night at the theatre, a chance encounter with her mother’s oldest friend changes everything.

Preening prima donna Laura Lindsay is no stranger to heartbreak. She’s spent her life careering from one disastrous romance to the next — and chronicling her madcap misadventures in an hilarious, intimate journal.

Now she bestows the book on Marianne. And it’s nothing less than a revelation.

Its pages tell of love at first sight, marriage the same day, exaggerated sentiment and complete disregard for the feelings of others. Havoc ensues.

This is Jane Austen retold, with all her characteristic humour and enjoyment of the absurd.

This sparkling Regency romance will delight fans of Jane Austen, Gill Hornby, Emma Tennant, Kiley Reid and Marian Keyes.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT BETH ANDREWS:

“A beautifully written romp in Jane Austen’s style . . . very funny. Beth Andrews has a real mastery of this kind of writing. The story is fun and runs along at a breathless speed.” Lesley

Hilarious, scandalous and naughty but nice! I highly recommend this book, even to those who are not familiar with Jane Austen. Try it, you'll love it.” F.K.

“This book is absolutely charming, and it retains the spirit of Jane Austen . . . Austen's writing has a brilliant mix of humour, kindness, and shrewdness: this lovely and ingenious pastiche re-creates it . . . a book one reads smiling throughout, a precious gift from Miss Beth Andrews in current times.” A.E. Moutet
