What
Jane Austen fan wouldn’t want to spend a few days or longer vacationing in that
era of romance and intrigue?
If
you enjoyed Shannon Hale’s first book, Austenland,
you are sure to enjoy this one as well. Some of the Austenland characters are
the same: Mrs. Wattlesbrook, Captain Andrews, Miss Charming, and Sir John.
There are also many new characters to add twists and turns to the plot,
including the new heroine, Mrs. Cordial.
This
time Pembrook Park is stuck in the midst of a murder mystery: 21 nuns
mysteriously drop dead with no marks on their bodies and a dead body is found
in a secret room. Are these murders real, or are they a part of the Austenland
experience. Charlotte Cordial must find the truth.
Shannon
Hale does a really good job on this Austenland sequel. The story doesn’t really
have the feel of a sequel and the reader need not read the first Austenland to enjoy the second.
