Question: I love Pride & Prejudice and am looking for a similar themed book about that era but with a modern style!.!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The Scandal of the Season by Sohphie Gee!. After reading your question, this book just seemed to fit perfectly!. It is set in that era, has a sort of modern style (not too much of old English), and the romance (wink wink), is sure to keep you up at night!.

I bought it one day and then finished it two days later - I just couldn't stop reading!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Try Mr!. Darcy's Diary!. It's a book that was written a few years ago and it's Pride and Prejudice from Darcy's perspective!. It's pretty good, but the writing is a lot more "modern" than Jane Austen's!.

There are a lot of modern Pride and Prejudice sequels; you could look into those!.

I recommend all of Jane Austen's other books too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You might enjoy the novels of Georgette Heyer!. She wrote amusing romances, mostly with a Regency setting, and featuring bright, interesting heroines and plenty of humour!. They are nothing like as subtle as Jane Austen's novels and the characters are not as diverse and interesting as hers, but they are fun to read!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you could try all of jane austen's other books!. (sense and sensibility mansfield park etc!.)
wuthering heights by emily bronte is also very good!. but its not as happy as pride and prejudice!.
most books stores have a classics section you can just go there and browse through to find some good onesWww@QuestionHome@Com
