About this ebook
Charlotte Kinder is in need of true escape when she heads from Ohio to Pembrook Park, a Jane Austen-themed retreat in the British countryside. But as it turns out, this vacation is no time to relax. Hearts are racing and stomachs fluttering in a tangle of intrigues - real and pretend, sinister and romantic - increasingly tough to sort out. It's midnight in Austenland, and Charlotte is about to prove herself a heroine worthy of Austen herself.

Although Austen said murders were not something she'd write about- she'd be happy with that mystery, I'm sure! It looks like with this book author really spread her wings. Main character is believable and very much lovable as well (I had troubles with the first book's idea of someone actually comparing real partners with Mr Darcy...) . And what happens in Austenland...well, it's on the edge of reality sometimes, but in the end it's Austenland- anything can happen there;)

A rather disjointed and sluggish story it is to often hard it to read without your mind wandering. I loved the charm of the first book but found this lacking that charm and seems hastily written by someone of thinks herself a genius. I doubt I'll read this again nor would I advise anyone else to read it.

Wasnt sure if the second book would be as good, but was gladly proven wrong :)
About the author
Shannon's mother says she was a storyteller from birth, jabbering endlessly in her carriage as the two strolled through the neighborhood; once she could form complete sentences, she made up stories, bribing her younger siblings to perform them in mini plays. When she was ten, she began writing books, mostly fantasy stories where she was the heroine, and she continued writing secretly for years while pursuing acting in stage and improv comedy. After detours studying in Mexico, the U. K., and Paraguay, Shannon earned a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Utah and a Masters in Creative Writing from the University of Montana. In the interim, she submitted short stories and novels to magazines and publishers, saving all her rejection letters which she has since laminated into one continuous 60-foot roll which she proudly unfurls to audiences as a testament to her dedication and determination. Since the publication of her first book, The Goose Girl, in 2003, Shannon has become a beloved author to young readers as well as booksellers and educators. Her third novel, Princess Academy, earned her a Newbery Honor and is a New York Times bestseller. Shannon has also written three books for adults, Austenland, Midnight in Austenland and The Actor and the Housewife. Shannon lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, with her husband, Dean, their children, and their pet, a small plastic pig. www.shannonhale.com
