Austen Superpowers: Finding Yours with Lizzy Bennet
We dream of them. We want to be them. We wish they were our best friend. Or our partner. And sometimes, we wish we could shake some sense into them.
They are Jane Austen’s heroines and heroes. Each of them has a flawed humanity, but each also has a unique and special quality—an Austen superpower, if you will.
Which is why they are so eminently relatable. Like them, we too are flawed. And like them, we have those same superpowers. They may be hidden away where we cannot see them, but they are there neverthless. All we have to do is believe.
How do we do that? By following the lead of Austen’s leading ladies and men, who dig down deep within themselves to access their own superpowers.
In this first of a series of posts, we turn to the heroine who is perhaps the most beloved of all: Elizabeth aka Lizzy Bennet of Pride and Prejudice.
The next book(s) are coming…
…including the long-awaited Book 3 of the Jane Austen Addict series, in which Courtney and Jane finally come face to face, and it’s not pretty, especially because they must decide which world is really their home–while navigating scandal, blackmail, deception, and romantic chaos.
