Is the man I'm dating Mr. Darcy in disguise. . . or
simply a jerk?
It's been two centuries since Jane Austen penned Pride
& Prejudice and her many other classic novels, yet her
adroit observations on the social landscape and profound insights
into human nature are as relevant now as they were in her time. If
only those of us in need of some good advice today had the
opportunity to sit down and tap even a few drops from Austen's
great reservoirs of wisdom. Well, now we do. . . .
In Miss Jane Austen's Guide to Modern Life's
Dilemmas, Rebecca Smith channels her
great-great-great-great-great aunt's sense-and, of course, her
sensibility-to help readers navigate their most pressing
problems. Drawing on Austen's novels, letters, and
unpublished writings, Smith supplies readers with wise and
wonderful counsel for living well in the 21st century. From
instruction on how to gracefully "unfriend" someone on Facebook to
answers for such timeless questions as "Can a man ever
really change?" this book enables readers to nimbly
navigate life's most tricky terrain with the good sense, good
manners, and abundant humor that are the mark of any great Austen
heroine.
Sensible, savvy, and funny, Miss Jane Austen's Guide
to Modern Life's Dilemmas cleverly answers every Austen
fan's most earnest question: What would Jane do?
Replete with lovely Austen-inspired color illustrations, as
well as quotes from Austen's various novels to support the advice
given, this book is the ideal gift for the Jane Austen fanatic in
