Description: American Claire Prescott doesn't really understand Mr Darcy's appeal. But when she agrees to stand in for her sister at a Jane Austen seminar in Oxford, she finds herself holding a lost version of Pride and Prejudice. As she reads the first draft, she uncovers a long-hidden secret about the iconic Darcy, as well as the truth about Austen's own struggle to find the right hero for Elizabeth Bennett. And when a tall, dark and dashing stranger crosses her path, will the staid Claire suddenly discover her own inner Lizzie Bennett?
