Upcoming book: "The Man Who Loved Jane Austen"
Publisher’s Lunch Weekly reports that Kensington Publishing Corp. has purchased:
Sally Smith O’Rourke’s THE MAN WHO LOVED JANE AUSTIN (sic), examining the question: What if Fitzwilliam Darcy from PRIDE AND PREJUDICE was based on a real man, as an old letter to Jane Austen from Darcy sends the protagonist looking for, and falling in love with, the man she thinks is his descendent.
It’s much too early to establish a publication date; we would say look for it in a year or so, possibly sooner if Kensington is trying to ride The Jane Austen Book Club’s coattails.
We remember seeing a link to this book some time back, but the link is dead. Undeterred, the crack staff at the AustenBlog Testing and Research Labs, Ltd. tracked down a Google Cache of the forward and this link from the Wayback Machine.
This book with the same title seems to be a different book.
