While looking for books by or about Jane Austen, I found Jane Austen Ruined My Life by Beth Pattillo. I found the ebook on Libby by Overdrive. If you have a library card, then you can also borrow ebooks from Libby.

Emma has just left her unfaithful husband. Her career is in ruins because her teaching assistant accused Emma of plagiarism. It’s not a good thing for anyone but especially not a literature professor. Also, the teaching assistant was the woman having an affair with Emma’s husband.

So Emma travels to England because she learns that there may be some letters of Jane Austen’s that no one has seen before. She has nothing else to do so she spends the rest of her savings to hunt for the lost Jane Austen letters.

She blames Jane Austen for her expectations of finding Mr. Darcy or Mr. Knightley. If she hadn’t been looking for a hero then maybe her life wouldn’t be in a shambles. I don’t agree that she should blame Jane Austen and eventually Emma realizes it.

It was an enjoyable book. There were some true facts along with fiction. I would have missed half of the references if I hadn’t been reading so much about Jane Austen lately.

  1. alessandria today – Ex Dirigente, consulente e ora blogger Background, di Pier Carlo Lava Le mie esperienze lavorative nel settore Commerciale & marketing, un mondo che affascina, motiva e stimola, che ha contribuito a farmi crescere sotto il profilo professionale e umano. Un mondo dove non esiste la routine in quanto si rinnova ogni giorno, quasi ogni momento, un mondo in cui organizzazione, metodo, psicologia, dialettica, ma anche creatività e improvvisazione, sono gli elementi essenziali che contraddistinguono gli abili commerciali così come i valenti creativi nel Marketing. Molti di noi potendo ricominciare da capo intraprenderebbero altre attività, altri percorsi, personalmente invece non cambierei quasi nulla farei la stessa scelta, ben sapendo che per motivazioni intrinseche non sarebbe mai uguale, forse l’unica cosa che cambierei sarebbe quella di dare maggiore spazio alla famiglia, perchè confesso di averla un po trascurata.
