Pride And Prejudice
(Jane Austen)
A country gentleman and his wife need marriages for their five daughters. Two highly eligible young men arrive in town, and a contingent of soldiers arrives at a nearby beachside village. In a tale of integrity, misunderstandings, subterfuge and ungentlemanly misdeeds, the daughters work out their fates. Relationships between father and daughter, mother and society, sisters, men, brothers and friends are all described virtually as seen by the lead sister, with a great delicacy and directness. Things are not always as they seem, and elegance finds embarrassments beyond bearing - almost. The cunning set their traps and the trustworthy search for recognition. Some compromise and some determine upon excellence alone. What becomes of them all unfolds in a delightful tale set in beautiful English countryside, where carriages arrive in the afternoon, balls bring out the competitive spirit, ladies take walks in the rain, mothers fuss, neighbours gossip, and love is lost and won. This is a must read for everyone.
