“A Woman’s work is never done”
“A Re-read”
(Hardback)
“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”
Pride and Prejudice is one of those books I reread yearly. It’s one of my all time 5 star favourites. A classic romance that makes me want my own Mr Darcy.
Set in the late 18th century, Pride and Prejudice follows Elizabeth Bennet, the second eldest daughter of five, all subject to their mother’s pursuit of obtaining them a successful marriage. But in a time where success is defined by the amount of money the future husband has, Elizabeth did not want to become another social ornament. A level-headed woman with no interest in the silly social standards that dictate how and who a woman should be.
This story covers familial relationships, romantic relationships, the mean girl cliques, the other love interest, the villains and, of course, personal growth.
I am a sucker for all the romantic parts of this book, but I love reading Elizabeth’s relationship with her sister Jane, her mother’s anecdotes about other characters and watching Elizabeth realise how fighting against conforming to those social standards narrowed her view.
“Love love love”

Love this book so much. It’s my comfort book. Love the characters, love the storyline, love the yearning. Just a great book

“If you haven't read this, shame on you!”
(Paperback)
My favourite, favourite book ever. The end.
P.S. If you've only watched the BBC adaptation, wonderful although it is, it's not a patch on the book (which doesn't include a soaking wet Mr Darcy emerging from a lake. Sorry.). But it does have an amazing opening sentence, hilarious characters who range from witty (Mr Bennett) to nauseatingly obseqiuous (Mr Collins) and a love story at its heart which beats any rom com plot hands down. This book has good-looking men, cunning women and massive houses. If Austen were alive today, she'd probably be writing the next series of Footballers' Wives.
