“I have an outspoken Yankee Doodle from the future living in my house for the next three months.”
Just one of many humorous lines that made me laugh out loud in this Pride and Prejudice variation that was both comedic and gripping alternately.
Nine Ladies blends elements of Lost in Austen, Outlander, and Kate & Leopold to create a delightful time-travel romance that will appeal to any Jane Austen fan who ever fancied traveling back in time to live at Pemberley in 1811- or imagined having Mr. Darcy here with them in the present day!
I enjoyed seeing Elizabeth and Darcy's struggles to live in each other's time and culture- often fraught with humorous moments, felt their angst as they each believed that neither could be happy living outside their own time permanently, and rejoiced to see their love overcoming the bounds of space and time to be together.
Heather Moll is a fantastic writer and storyteller. I enjoyed seeing how she combined elements of Jane Austen into a unique variation that is both modern and Regency-era. There are some steamy scenes, but not super explicit.
If you love time travel romances and Jane Austen, then definitely check out Nine Ladies.
