NOVEL ADVICE

When a real-world person has a problem, they turn to their friends, family, therapists—and advice columnists. In Novel Advice, our favorite characters from classic literature do just that, writing in to Aunt Antigone, the “agony aunt for the fictional” who dishes out practical advice, along with a fair dose of snark.

By turns amusing, touching, and enlightening, see what Aunt Antigone has to say about:

• Relationships, with advice for Ophelia and Ishmael about their dating woes

• Careers and Work, when Dr. Jekyll searches for the perfect work/life balance

• Mental Health, when Scarlett O’Hara wants tips about the best way to handle stress

• Finances, in response to Mrs. Bennet’s request for tips to manage her money woes

• Community and Society, as when Hester Prynne writes in for help with her judgy neighbors​

Perfect for fans of Texts from Jane Eyre, Tequila Mockingbird, and booklovers everywhere, this book is a hilarious and thought-provoking look at our favorite literary characters seeking help from an advice columnist with her own dramatic background.
