Synopsis
“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”
When Mr. Bingly, a handsome young man with 5,000 a year, takes a house in the Bennett’s neighborhood, hearts are a flutter and Mrs. Bennett predicts that he will marry one of her daughters. He immediately takes special notice of Jane, the eldest of the 5 Bennett daughters. But Mr. Bingley’s wealthy friend, Mr. Darcy, the “proudest, most disagreeable man in the world”, does not approve of the society in the country and convinces Mr. Bingley to quit Longbourn and return to London. Elizabeth, daughter number 2 of the Bennett girls, is convinced that Mr. Darcy is the cause of her sister’s ruined felicity and is determined to hate him.The story continues full of wit and vibrant, fascinating characters culminating with one the most satisfying conclusions in literature.
One of my favorite books of all time. If it has been a few years since you’ve picked it up, read it again!
