Description
The carefully controlled and chess-like movements of polite society often conceal passionate hearts, keen minds, and rebellious wills. High-spirited Elizabeth Bennet attempts to stay true to her ideals while her meddlesome mother schemes to get all five Bennet sisters married and to secure their family's fate at all costs. Can a girl who refuses to abandon her independent and scrutinizing ways find true love and a faithful heart? More than one unexpected twist and shocking revelation await our heroine as she must choose between the dashing Mr. Wickham and proud, aloof Mr. Darcy.

About the Author
Educated and trained in her craft largely within her family home, Jane Austen (1775-1817) developed a singularly sharp eye and keen wit for chronicling the lives, loves, and misadventures of the English gentry. Although little-read during her lifetime, Austen has since been awarded a lasting place as one of the most brilliant English women ever to put pen to paper. Austen's novels Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Persuasion, and Northanger Abbey welcome readers of all ages and eras to delight in their timeless humor and poignancy.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

One of my favorite books
This is one of my all-time favorite books. If you can't get enough of Pride and Prejudice, I recommend reading "Gentleman Darcy: a novel in 3 parts" by Pamela Aidan. She does a brilliant job of telling Mr. Darcy's side of the story.

Pride & Prejudice
This books is a classic love story, with an altogether archaic view on things. No one is that subtle, that closed, that modest in our fast-paced modern world.
Which is perhaps, why this romance is so popular. It's a true mix-up of feelings and it's vocabulary is refreshing especially after watching even a single commercial.
This book is enjoyable, light, and beautiful.
Highly recommended.
