What Would Jane Austen Do?

When Maddy Shaw is told her Dear Jane column has been cancelled, she is forced to look outside of London's rental market. She is left an idyllic country home by her long-not-so-lost cousin Nigel, with a stipulation: she must chair the committee for the annual village literary festival and put up with bestselling crime author Cameron Massey as her new neighbor. Maddy challenges Cameron to write romantic fiction, which he claims is so easy to do, and sparks fly both on and off the page. "What Would Jane Austen Do?" is a witty, sharp, and beautifully observed book that fans of Jane Austen will particularly enjoy. It is a perfect read for a day you need a pick-me-up and is reminiscent of a modern-day Jane Austen novel.
