Über diesen Titel
Kritikerstimmen
“This frothy take on literary time travel will appeal most to readers well versed in the celebrated author's memorable characters and themes.”—Booklist
“[A] delightful comic romp … Jane Austen makes a cameo appearance that is pure pleasure.”—The Times Picayune
“[A] charming novel… Rigler writes beautifully… a light and deftly orchestrated visit to 1813.”—Austen Blog
"Confessions is a novel of manners, but with a nifty twist. Laurie Viera Rigler sets the sensibilities of a 21st century L.A. woman against the manners of Regency England to watch the sparks fly. By turns funny, thoughtful, romantic and suspenseful, this engaging story is as brisk and delightful as ‘taking a turn in the shrubbery’ in the company of a handsome gentleman. If you’ve ever fantasized about being a Jane Austen heroine, this is your book."—Judith Ryan Hendricks, author of Bread Alone
“A rich, saucy lark of a book for all of us who have ever looked at our lives and marveled, 'How did I get here?'"—Marisa de los Santos, author of Love Walked In
“Courtney, flung into the past, learns the importance of living in the present even as she challenges our assumptions about identity and memory. I read this wonderful novel in a single sitting; Jane Austen fans will love it!"—Masha Hamilton, author of The Camel Book Mobile
"Rigler evokes the Jane Austen period masterfully, along with the perplexity of a 21st century L.A. woman, Courtney Stone, who lands unexpectedly in the body of a 19th century British woman in a world of chamber pots, chaperones, and different rules about finding true love. Courtney's navigation of the delicate 19th century social scene and her attempts to figure out how to get back to her ‘real’ 21st century life make for a hilarious and affecting, all-around wonderful read."—Ellen Baker, author of Keeping the House
“A devotee of all things Austen… discovers the reality of life in Regency England: rampant body odor, sexual and class repression and a style of medical care involving bloodletting… Despite the smells, little in [her] current lifestyle—including most of the men—can compete with the erotic charge of dancing in a candlelit ballroom.”—USA Today

As for the story I was a bit disappointed. I like reading this fanfiction stories that confront the reader with her own romantisation of world or time that would turn into a nightmare as soon as it's real. I liked that the author seemed aware of how superior our present is in comparasion to the Regency time. But she needed a bit more research in the experience and her heroine was acting extremely odd. It might be American ignorance on Courtneys part, but if she Really read all of Austens books multipletimes how could she behave like she did. She should be aware of the consequences and she has no way back or security.
Finally I think the structure of the story works a bit in its disadvantage. The story might follows the Charles and Jane love story but the narrator is obviously only in love Wes. This makes the reader care more about Wes and not the on going story. Making the end frustrating further more the conflict is not resolved in the slightest since all confessions happen to the wrong woman. It might function better in combination with the second book but only ok on its own.
Brilliantly read story that could be so much more
