Pride and Prejudice (Penguin Classics)

Few have failed to be charmed by the witty and independent spirit of Elizabeth Bennet in Austen’s beloved classic Pride and Prejudice. 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 us the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.

I adore Jane Austen. This was probably at least my fifth time reading Pride and Prejudice. Witty dialogue that has stood the test of time.

When in doubt about what to read, returning to Austen is never wrong. Rosamund Pike's Audible version is a gem.

Jane Austen always captivates with her beautiful stories. As in this one, with Elizabeth Bennet, an independent woman really advance for the century she was born. Jane Austen was a woman with a mature character and this book represents it.
