by Heidi L.M. Jacobs
This is a book about a U of A student, and English student, whose parents are profs at the U of A, one in literature and one in art.
She takes a summer job at a shoe store in WEM. She is enamoured with Jane Austen and her characters and keeps analyzing things in her life based on what some of the characters would do or think.
It is a quirky, somewhat silly book as she explores the office politics at the mall and the not always honest efforts of her fellow students
For a person who likes Jane Austen, literature, or is an academic or librarian, the book would be appealing, for others not so much I think.
One of the things I really enjoyed were here references to Edmonton, particularly near the end when she stands on the High Level Bridge and seems to get something of an Epiphany.
A light read that helped to take my mind off the pandemic for a little while.
