If you, like me, were drawn, bound and mesmerized by the pages of Pride and Prejudice, slightly breathless at the sign of Colin Firth, re-read the letter scene a million times, and crushed on the retorts sizzling between Luzzy and Darcy, then you had better grab this with both hands and start immediately!!
Oh, and jrep the original Pride and Prejudice handy, you will be hankering for a read later, trust me!
The tale follows the exploits of Molly Bramble, who runs a floating bookshop on the Oxford Canal, with her Irish wolfhound, trying her hand at matching books to readers with her 'Blind Date with a Book' endeavor. Enter the hoity toity Jack Sidall, who turns his nose up at the enterprise and turns out to be her new neighbor!!
Rife with misunderstanding, mystery and the banter we so love, this romcom will delight any purists heart!
The ideation that readers find their books and the concept of subconscious influencing is soo true and creates the necessary book lovers draw for indulging in this charming retelling!
And of course, the peerless Emily Kerr, who doesn't miss a beat in throwbacks to the original snd infusing a modern twist to the traditional mores that define Jane's masterpiece...
Huge shoutout to the sponsors of this arc - HarperCollins UK and One More Chapter and, if course Netgalley, for making this Austen fan's retelling dreams come true!!
