Five Bennet sisters, a mother obsessed with marriage and a father who prefers his library make up the household at Longbourn. When the wealthy bachelor Bingley moves in nearby with his proud friend Darcy, Jane is drawn to the first and her sister Elizabeth takes an instant dislike to the second. Lydia's elopement with Wickham, Mr. Collins's pompous proposals and Lady Catherine de Bourgh's interference all push Elizabeth to reconsider what she thinks she knows about Darcy.
An obvious choice for anyone who wants a classic love story with real wit. The reward is a heroine who learns to question her own certainty and a set of characters easy to quote.
Balanced in tone; a moderate read.
Best for readers like The Story Seeker. Which reader are you?
