I’m going to recap ’s “An American in Austen” over at Excessively Diverting (https://excessivelydiverting.substack.com/). The movie is on tonight at 8 p.m. EST and the issue will be out n a few days.

Premise: “Harriet, who thinks that no real man compares to Mr. Darcy, is transported into Pride & Prejudice and gets an unexpected chance to find out.”

@forpeterssake @bookstodon “An American in Austen" is also vaguely close to "Lost in Austen" where this time a Brit discovers a secret door that takes her to Meryton where she swaps places with Lizzie who heads to the 21st C. “Lost in Austen" is fun if such things entice you.
