Austenland by Shannon Hale
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
I don’t expect A-plus historical accuracy in a chick-lit romance billed as an homage to an Austen obsession, but I was disappointed when the point-of-view character didn’t know the difference between a chamberpot and a bedpan. When I realized that the author didn’t know either and that no one involved in the book’s production had cared enough to correct the error, I bailed out.
Someone using a bedpan as a chamberpot would get a surprise. Also a stench!
Yeah…it conjured up images that completely destroyed the scene in which the error appeared
Thanks for the heads up…..I find little Austiana (?) worth pursuing……I’m wondering about the new P.D.James…..
Merry Christmas!
Hahahaha! Funniest, most succinct review ever! Says it all!
