Justin Fellowes has a big secret.  He loves to read and his favorite book ever is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.  Keep in mind that we are in London and the year is 1818.  Justin claims he takes out the book for his sister.  I think the clerk has other ideas.  Justin is in love with Elizabeth Bennett and is looking for his "Elizabeth" in real life. While leaving Hookham's Bookshop, Justin walks right into another customer.  One look at her and he thinks he has found the one - his Elizabeth Bennett.  It seems the young lady also loves Pride and Prejudice.  Can this be a marriage made in the library...I mean heaven?  Will they ever meet?  Is Justin Miss Clara Haley's "Darcy"?This novella is the first thing I have read by Linda Banche.  It will not be the last.  This is a little gem of a read.  The story is well researched and transports you to London in 1818.  The author pays a great deal of attention to detail so you can almost see and hear what is going on. This is a great introduction to a new author and you can read this charming story in one sitting.  If you love Jane Austen like I do, then you should be reading A Similar Taste in Books.
