Jane Austen in Scarsdale: Or Love Death and th

Praise for Jane Austen in Scarsdale "For every frazzled student applying to college, for all anxious parents trying to get a student into college, for all teachers besieged by requests for higher grades and glowing letters of recommendation, this book is for you. I am persuaded that Cohen, like Jane Austen, knows how to work things out for her heroine--neatly and satisfactorily. I loved it."---Ann B. Ross, author of MISS JULIA'S SCHOOL OF BEAUTY"Paula Marantz Cohen has done it again! Jane Austen in Scarsdale is laugh-out-loud funny, literate, wise--and best of all, a satirical mirror of our times. She has become our own Jane Austen."---Diane Ravitch, author of THE LANGUAGE POLICE Acclaim for the Previous Novels of Paula Marantz Cohen MUCH ADO ABOUT JESSIE KAPLAN "A brightly comic book…[that explores] the redemptive capacity of the literary imagination…Highly literate light fiction."---Times Literary Supplement "Unabashedly entertaining reading…touching and not a little wise."---The Philadelphia Inquirer "A comic tour-de-force…as fresh and pungent as an apple cake [that] proves that literary fiction doesn't have to be elegiac in tone to be successful."---The Hudson Review JANE AUSTEN IN BOCA "Utterly charming…think Pride and Prejudice, but with better weather."---Vanity Fair "Page-turner of the week… Austen never schmoozed by the pool with a pack of bronzed yentas, but her Pride plot proves as durable as ever…in this witty romp."---People magazine "Clever, warmhearted…Cohen's wit is sharp, smart, and satirical, and her characterizations are vividly on target."---The San Francisco Chronicle "While the novel works as a clever remake of Pride and Prejudice, it has equal merit as contemporary social commentary."---Persuasions: The Jane Austen Journal
