Goodreads asked Miranda Miller:

If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

Miranda Miller I would go back to Jane Austen's London, to help my research for the novel I am writing at the moment. Most of her characters, of course, live in the country but they often go to 'town' when something scandalous happens: Maria Rushworth runs off with Henry Crawford from a house in Wimple Street; Lydia and Wickham hide in the City before Mr Darcy finds them, and London is also the setting for poor Marianne's discovery that Willoughby is a cad. What would I do there? I would get out my notebook, talk to as many people as possible and find out how people then really talked, thought and behaved.
