Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the APA Book Design Awards for Best Non-fiction 2013 It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. Unless, of course, he's gay. Or has a girlfriend. Or is neck deep in twice weekly psychoanalysis and entirely unfit for public interaction. How does the modern day heroine find her way in a dating world where the rules change faster than she can update her status on Facebook, and there's not a single Georgian ballroom, empire-line dress or pantalooned man in sight? Intrepid former dater and award-winning journalist Amanda Hooton turns to the ageless wisdom of Jane Austen to solve the eternal dilemmas of romance: how to be as clever as Elizabeth Bennet, as dignified as Elinor Dashwood and as confident as Emma Woodhouse; how to avoid shagging Mr Wickham, marrying Mr Collins, or being dumped by Willoughby; and most importantly of all, how to find Mr Darcy, grapple him to your soul with hoops of steel, and become the part-owner of a country estate in Derbyshire. If you've ever wondered why your love life doesn't more closely resemble a Jane Austen novel, this is the book for you. Charming, laugh-out-loud hilarious and entirely empathetic, Finding Mr Darcy is a witty, street smart and, above all, wise approach to modern dating, which proves that some things - especially the pursuit of love - really are timeless.

Book excerpt: "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. Unless, of course, he's gay. Or has a girlfriend. Or is neck-deep in twice-weekly psychoanalysis and entirely unfit for public consumption." How does the modern young woman negotiate her dating way in a world where the rules change as fast as you can update your status on Facebook? How to know if the man you've just met in the chatroom is married with three children, if you should be going out in a short skirt with no undies, or if texting your deepest desires to the stranger you met last night is entirely sensible. Luckily, Jane Austen is there, as she has been for three centuries, advising us to keep a sense of humour and our dignity intact. Amply aided and somewhat updated by former intrepid dater and award-winning journalist Amanda Hooton, Jane shows us how we can save ourselves heartbreak by following the examples of her famous heroines. We learn that cleverness is no barrier to romance, beauty is within and that you can't actually meet a man unless you go to places where men dwell. Best of all, we learn how to wade through the heaving mass of commitment-phobic masculine humanity out there to discover our very own Mr Darcy.
