About this book

A witty and tender comedy of manners with a political bite. If Jane Austen was twenty-five today, would she be a greenie or a member of the Young Liberals? Probably neither. But for 25-year-old Hazel, reading the classics starting with A is a way to pass the time while jobless and plotless. A chance encounter with an irresistible older man provides a much-needed distraction.

When Hazel is partnered with him on a political campaign, her attraction is deepened by the strength of his convictions. Can she persuade him to embark upon romance? And what does Jane Austen have to teach a young woman about life, love, and literature in the 21st century anyway?
