About this ebook
A very unbookish woman stumbles on a cabinet in a bookshop that thrusts her into the world of Pride and Prejudice—unarmed with any real knowledge of Austen's world—in this hilarious adult debut from #1 New York Times bestselling author Anna James.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that if you’ve just been fired, had your heart broken, and are still sharing a bedroom with your little sister, you’ll take any job going. So, when Marianne Buxton applies to work at the small local bookshop, she doesn’t expect to fit in. The odd one out in her bookish family, she has only the vaguest knowledge of the classics and certainly isn’t in the mood to put up with her judgmental colleague, Jude. He may be handsome, but he’s also a literary snob and fiercely protective of the bookshop’s owner.
But Wildflower Books is a place that tends to draw in the people who need it. And what Marianne finds, as she explores the back rooms and stacks of books, is quite literally a doorway to another world in the form of a cupboard that offers a portal into Pride and Prejudice.
Marianne may not be a complete nerd but even she knows who Lizzy Bennet is. And with her real life continuing to spiral toward disaster, she is more than happy to keep venturing back into a gentler time. Except when a flirtation with a charming, untrustworthy rogue proves distracting, she must distinguish fact from fiction and friend from foe before things go wildly awry.
