What is Jane Austen Ruined my Life - Book 1 - Jane Austen about?

From Booklist Emma Grant, the heroine of Pattillos first outing, has a major beef to settle with her literary heroine, Jane Austen. Austens novels taught Emma, a college professor, to believe in happy endings, but her own happy ending goes up in flames when she discovers her husband, Edward, in the arms of her teaching assistant, after which the two have her professionally discredited by claiming she plagiarized a paper. Disillusioned and disgraced, Emma flees the U.S. for her cousins house in England after being contacted by Gwendolyn Parrot, an elderly woman claiming to be in possession of a stash of lost Austen letters. Rather than simply handing over the letters, Mrs. Parrot sends Emma on a succession of tasks that gradually reveal a secret about Austens life previously unknown to scholars. Along the way, Emma reconnects with Adam, her former best friend whom she fell out of touch with after marrying Edward. Filled with all the whimsy and romantic literary fun the title promises, Pattillos novel is a rewarding read. --Kristine Huntley Review Jane Austen Ruined My Life by Beth Patillo is smart chick lit that is an absolute pleasure to read.
