Best selling author Laurie Viera Rigler seeps her readers in the times of Jane Austen’s England. CONFESSIONS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT is a wonderfully unique book that kept me riveted and reading, anticipating the next juicy morsel. Ms. Rigler’s descriptions of unwashed bodies, chamber pots, complicated dresses and etiquette dealing with the opposite sex added reality to her portrayal of life in 18th century England, so much so that I could feel poor Courtney’s confusion and delight in living in her revered author’s lifetime. In fact, I have caught Ms. Rigler’s addiction and must revisit Jane Austen’s books myself. Written with a touch of humor and a large dose of passion; CONFESSIONS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT is a must for all romantics, Jane Austen fans and those wanting a smiling good read.
