"Since its immediate success in 1813, Pride and Prejudice have remained one of the most popular novels in the English language. Jane Austen called this brilliant work 'her own darling child' and its vivacious heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, 'as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print.' The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and her proud beau, Mr. Darcy, is a splendid performance of civilized sparring. And Jane Austen's radiant wit sparkles as her characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, making this book the superb comedy of manners of Regency England."
My Rating: 5/5
I finally read this classic that people have been on my case about for years! And I get it now. The romance in this is just astounding and really timeless. I understand now why women talk about finding their Mr. Darcy and how he is a true love interest for the ages. Elizabeth is an amazing character especially to be written in the time that it was, I'm impressed by the way she holds her own. I plan to read more classics from Jane Austen, and exploring more classics via audiobook as I find it the best way for me to consume the stories. I'm not sure these are my most coherent thoughts, but here they are quickly jotted down.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
