By a Lady

Romance, time travel, and Jane Austen--what could be better?

By a Lady: Being the Adventures of an Enlightened American in Jane Austen's England by Amanda Elyot
During an audition for a play about Jane Austen, New York actress C. J. Welles is transported back in time to Bath, England, at the turn of the nineteenth century, where she is befriended by the eccentric Lady Euphoria Dalrymple, falls for Owen Percival, the Earl of Darlington, the cousin of Jane Austen, and finds herself torn between two different eras.
