James Owen: Janet Lewis Saidi's book celebrates Jane Austen with the 'Clueless' crowd columbiatribune.com/story/en…
We're navigating the meandering pathways, gardens, and shady lanes of Mansfield Park. And we're finding our way through the flirtations, FOMO, and Shakespearian chaos - together. Read along and chat with us - all are welcome. 🌻❣️
A link to the book - feel free to share it, pre-order it, or just quietly love it 🌷

We're embracing the darkness of crowded Bath balls, flirting and the muslin, horrid novels, frenemies and Thorpes, corridors and cringey accusations in an ancient abbey. Our first stop for the Great Jane Austen Read-Along is: Northanger Abbey. Join us! 💮❣️
