What happens: Austen has a fling with a young Irishman.
No doubt while wearing her “What Would Jane Do?” thong.
ROFL, Heather. Do you suppose said Irishman has Team Darcy boxers?
Do they allow tea in Bedlam? How do you like yours? I’ll have Bertha Rochester take you some
Tea, yes, but only decaf; and I’ve been told my crochet hook is a no-no. *sob*
Anne Hathaway as Jane Austen I can deal with but the likes of Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johannson headlining my favourite novel The Other Boleyn girl is just down right atrocious.
Now for that movie they should have got someone british as oppose to some Hollywood leading lady who can’t even manage an english accent properly.
Honestly I don’t know what hollywood is thinking or trying to achieve by doing this, makes us avid readers cry out loud.
My feelings exactly. You’ve left me with nothing to say seeing as you’ve said it for me.
