Synopsis
When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.
Reviews
Customer Review: 10 September 2010
Reviewer: Jules
'What can you say that hasn''t been said already; this was one of the first grown-up books I read, and read again, and read again ....... I don''t quite read it every year, but almost. The language is wonderful, the jokes are subtle and dry and wise, once you get to the letter I''ll be very surprised if you can stop until you''ve finished. When Darcy proposes the first time your heart is in your mouth. When Lady de Burgh comes visiting you are appalled, when Darct proposes the second time you''re cheering. Do you get the impression I love this book?'
