Reviews for The Jane Austen Guide to Happily Ever After

Praise for The Jane Austen Guide to Happily Ever After "What a wonderful book! Elizabeth Kantor writes with immense sense and sensibility about how single young women in today's confusing world can find happiness by applying the principles of Jane Austen. I feel certain that Jane Austen would appreciate this witty and authentic take on her work, unlike so many ... Read morewrong-headed pop interpretations one gets these days. I am heartily recommending this delightful and original book even to my more mature friends who are no longer looking for a single young man. Lovely writing."
Charlotte Hays, senior fellow at the Independent Women's Forum and bestselling co-author of Being Dead Is No Excuse: The Official Southern Ladies Guide to Hosting the Perfect Funeral and Somebody Is Going to Die if Lilly Beth Doesn't Catch That Bouquet: The Official Southern Ladies Guide to Hosting the Perfect Wedding "A thorough analysis of love and dating through the eyes of Jane Austen, sure to spark discussions and provide a lot of food for thought. If you need a fresh perspective on love, start here."
Lori Smith, author of A Walk with Jane Austen and The Jane Austen Guide to Life "In The Jane Austen Guide to Happily Ever After Elizabeth Kantor asks, 'Can we have Jane Austen-style elegance, dignity, and happy love only at the cost of modern freedom and equality?' The answer is yes if, like Austen's heroines, we approach romance with a rational balance to sex and love and work hard on all our relationships, not just the romantic ones. The Guide is filled with information and advice gleaned from Jane Austen's novels. Case studies of major male characters examine their commitment phobias, and close scrutiny of Jane's clear-eyed heroines reveals how they get love exactly right. This book is packed with information that had me thinking about Jane Austen's novels in a new light. One thing is for certain: The reader will gain a new perspective on how to approach modern romance from one of the world's most famous regency spinsters!"
Vic Sanborn, author of the Jane Austen's World and Jane Austen Today blogs "Influenced by the master of love and romance, Elizabeth Kantor's wise, witty, and insightful advice book should be added to Mr. Darcy's reading list for any truly accomplished woman. It will transform you into the heroine of your own life."
Laurel Ann Nattress, author of "Austenprose
A Jane Austen Blog" and editor of Jane Austen Made Me Do It: Original Stories Inspired by Literature's Most Astute Observer of the Human Heart "This book would have helped me avoid a few broken hearts for sure! Kantor teaches you how to guard your emotions in an independent, sophisticated, and empowered way through Jane Austen's works. She offers timeless wisdom for the modern woman, and most importantly, encourages us to take our relationships seriously."
Amy Bonaccorso, author of How to Get to "I Do" Show Less
