When Emma Douglas discovers that her husband has been having an affair, who does she blame? Not herself. She turns the blame on Jane Austen, the source of her so called "Happy Ending Syndrome". In order to re-establish her career, and to move on from her broken marriage, Emma high-tails it to London in search of payback in the form of Jane Austen's supposedly destroyed letters.

An Austen scholar herself, Emma encounters a group known as The Formidables, the keepers of the secret Austen letters.She also manages to run into her ex-best friend, Adam, who is still harboring a keen interest in her. Throw in a bunch of Austen-related tasks, and any Pride and Prejudice lover would be having a field day with this book. A great summer or anytime read!
