Pride and Prejudice (Wordsworth Classics)

I read this book so many times. So bought this for my daughters to read

Oh the joys of finding your perfect match or in most cases the hard work.Mrs Bennet is eager to get her daughters married off to a suitable gentleman as quick as possible. So she is delighted when a wealthy young man comes to stay in their neighbourhood. Mr Bingley is drawn to Jane Bennet the eldest of the daughters and things look good. However his friend Mr Darcy whom no one seems to like interferes and things take a turn. Adding to the story there are misunderstandings, unexpected unions and plenty of passive aggressive conversations. Throw into the mix meddling relatives, deceitful charmers and scandalous behaviour and you have a wonderful drama to keep you turning those pages.The author Jane Austen is of course well known for her romantic novels. I have read two now. This one and Emma shortly afterwards and loved them both. I am a bit of an old romantic at heart.It's still relatable today as dating is a very precarious activity. It's still the same palaver be it a bit less formal. I am just glad I am married now and don't have to partake in this ineffectual activity.The characters are great. Funny, quiet or proud they add to the plot well. Elizabeth Bennet is our main concern and she delights us with her spirit and also her love for her sisters. The book is very entertaining and I would highly recommend it. This was my first Jane Austen novel and I intend to read more.

Great value for money. Really cute and in amazing condition. However the font is small so if you struggle with that it’s something to consider

One of my favourite books - it arrived quickly and in good condition

paperback book with a lovey beautiful front cover which makes this lovely pride and prejudice book even more worth a read.

Very good book

I LOVE this book and to learn what life was like during that period and how something so little could ruin a woman's reputation

Very used second hand copy. Easy to read
