Elizabeth Bennet, intelligent and quick to judge, lives at Longbourn with her parents and four sisters in rural England around 1800. Because the estate is entailed to a male cousin, the girls need to marry well. When Mr. Bingley rents Netherfield and brings along the haughty Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth overhears Darcy's slight, accepts Wickham's version of the past, and refuses Mr. Collins's absurd proposal. Her prejudice and Darcy's pride both have to be unlearned.
Perfect for readers who like romance where the conversation is the action. You finish with a gently ironic view of class and courtship, and a heroine who chooses her own mind over convenience.
Balanced in tone; a moderate read.
Best for readers like The Story Seeker. Which reader are you?
