Description

Jane Austen was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security.

Pride and Prejudice follows the turbulent relationship between Elizabeth Bennet, the daughter of a country gentleman, and Fitzwilliam Darcy, a rich aristocratic landowner. They must overcome the titular sins of pride and prejudice in order to fall in love and marry.

  • Great little slice of life for its time

    I’ve been reading classic novels this year and this was such a surprising book. It feels so modern in the sense that the drama of family, love and relations is as similar at every level of wealth as any other time period. I felt like I was reading a modern television drama and it was a delight to read. No insane twists and turns, no high stakes but it’s just a great read if you’re into this type of book!
